At Last Draft Inc., we believe that through the creative and community-building processes of both art and entrepreneurship, we become kinder, more connected beings.
The Last Draft traverses the intersection of art, technology, and business. It is both an information hub and a creative outlet, a virtual space for artists and entrepreneurs to share their work, discuss their creative process, and learn from industry experts.
Stories and content are produced and distributed across a variety of mediums.
