Liftoff Community,
We’ve been working quietly on something we think you’ll consider a game-changer. For nearly all of 2022, our team has been working closely with a select group of Liftoff subscribers to help develop a space and platform from which all Liftoff subscribers can benefit.
As of this blog entry, we have incredibly exciting news to share with you. Today marks the grand opening of your Liftoff Community! We’re calling this your community, because that’s what it is: a space where you can communicate and work with other subscribers, share tips and tricks, discuss important business challenges, learn, and ultimately get the most out of your Liftoff subscription.
