Vineet’s journey began in 2015 with 91springboard, where curiosity sparked his passion for building high-trust communities. From exploring developer and startup ecosystems to leading Partnerships & Community at MTW Labs, he’s always focused on turning conversations into real impact.

He’s helped scale communities for 200+ brands, co-hosted the Be Empactful podcast, and created frameworks like 4KYC, earning recognition for blending strategy, mentorship, and people-first engagement.

His advice: learn from your peers, dive into conversations, and stay curious. Every interaction is a chance to grow—because the stronger your curiosity, the stronger your community.
