SPHERE Yes Day

 

Founder & CEO of [SPHERE](https://www.edisonpartners.com/portfolio/sphere), [Rita Gurevich](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ritagurevich/), enters the office suspecting to carry out a fun 'Yes Day' activity focused on identity hygiene... but her assistant mistakenly tells everyone the day is centered merely around 'hygiene' instead. Rita is a trooper and cleans up the office - everything from the bathrooms to a pizza party hosted by General Partner [Lenard Marcus](https://www.edisonpartners.com/lenard-marcus) - to save the day! 

Upright (formerly Fund-that-Flip) Yes Day

 

Founder & CEO of [Upright (](https://www.edisonpartners.com/portfolio/upright)formerly Fund that Flip), [Matt Rodak,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattrodak/) is influenced by Operating Partner Steve Schloss to host a 'Yes Day' with the promise that it will cure his 'control issue.' Little does he know that his creative team comes up with a perma-solution.

Solutions-By-Text Yes Day 

 

CEO of[Solutions by Text](https://www.edisonpartners.com/portfolio/solutionsbytext), ["Davey" Baxter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-baxter-054b6b6/), is obligated to host a 'Yes Day' by Operating Partner, [Steve Schloss](https://www.edisonpartners.com/team/steve-schloss). He agrees to oblige for one hour... and is met with an irrational Gen Z influencer pitch.
