From the venue:

Kate Kennedy is a Chicago-based entrepreneur, author, and podcast host who is best known for inventing the ‘remindoormat.’ In 2014, as a hobby, she decided to paint “turn off your curling iron” on her doormat in an attempt to not burn down her apartment. Realizing that this was an innovation in a somewhat stale category that only contained welcome mats that see you into your home, she decided to create a line of products designed to see you on your way out. She named it Be There in Five as a salute to people like her, who tend to run out the door and forget important things in the process. Starting with ‘turn off’ reminders for hair and kitchen appliances, don’t forget your lunch, and telling people they look great today, Be There in Five launched a line of reminder, affirmation, and custom door mats for people on the go. A couple months in, the mats took off, and after selling thousands within the first year, Kate had to quit her corporate marketing job to run the business full-time.
