The company rebranded from WorkNetwork to Crater.Club and already claims over 5,000 creators and mentors on the platform. Founders Vivan Puri (Co‑founder & CEO) and Vignesh Prasad (Co‑founder & CTO) lead a team of Georgia Tech and NYU graduates with prior experience at HealthifyMe, Piggy and Tilt (Airbnb).
