Haven’t seen a close friend or family member in a while and want to remind them you care? Do you look at greeting cards in the grocery store and find that none of them feel genuine? Keller Anne Ruble started PS Post, “a greeting card sending service that mails beautifully designed, personalized greeting cards and e-gifts for you. [They] exist to make old-school, personal connection convenient so that all feel seen, valued, and inspired to connect – both on special occasions and everyday. Send a card and brighten anyone’s day with just a few clicks on your phone or computer.”
When Keller Anne joined COventure Forward in May 2020, PS Post was a fledgling idea. “We had a vision, lots of external enthusiasm for the idea, and very little idea of how to turn our dream into a reality. But the program’s mentors, curriculum, and fellow entrepreneurs gave us a roadmap, immense support, and the encouragement to refine, test, iterate on our idea, then keep going.”
Since both COventure Forward and PS Post were started out of the pandemic, we continue our tradition of asking what our founders are looking forward to as things open up. “In my personal life, I can’t wait to spend hours upon hours treasure hunting at thrift & antique stores again. Professionally – and I never thought I would say this – I really miss networking events. Networking can sometimes be stress-inducing for introverts but I’ve figured out some hacks to network well and enjoy it. Colorado is home to exceptionally talented and interesting people, and I want to better engage with the business and tech communities. I miss meeting new folks, learning more about different industries, good practices, and cool opportunities!”
Although Keller Anne and her team are off to a fantastic start, there’s always something worth tapping into the growing CVF network for. “We’re looking for earned media coverage! Do you have experience pitching businesses to media outlets? We’d be so grateful for a call to learn best practices or inside tips! Similarly, if you have media connections for whom you think PS Post might be a good story pitch, we would welcome any introductions you’d be willing to make. Please reach out to Keller Anne Ruble at kelleranne@pspost.co” You can also visit the PS Post site and use code commonsonchampa for 50% off a greeting card.
Finally, Keller Anne’s shout-out: “My co-founder and PS Post’s COO, Caitlin Rice, deserves so much praise. I’ve always appreciated the notion that ‘iron sharpens iron.’ When I sought out a business partner & co-founder, I knew trust, communication, and complementary skill sets were essential. I also knew that person was Caitlin. She is one of the sharpest, most multi-dimensionally talented professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. In addition to her logistical, operational, and technical skills, she has exquisite taste and design skills. Caitlin is brilliant. She is the bolt to my nut(case). I’m so honored that she and I are on this journey together.”
