Spotlight: LA Tech Was A Hit! | 1 Down 3 To Go!
We would like to thank all who came out and supported the first Spotlight event of the year. To those that couldn’t make it and watched the live broadcast we thank you and all the support you have given TechZulu. Huge thanks goes to all the companies that presented, Michael Schneider of Mobile Roadie who gave a great presentation and who we were honored to have as our SuperDemo.
Here at TechZulu, we do our best to bring you amazing companies that are building great products. Since we are based here in Southern California we really do our part and help the community thrive, and expose all the best that the Southern California technology community has to offer. And last night was a great testament to that. Amazing Spotlight companies, a fantastic audience, and great conversation sparked by the mixing and mingling of the academic and business worlds.
This was just the first of 4 Spotlight: LA Tech events we are putting on this year. We have begun taking submissions for the next Spotlight event and you can submit your companies here. Looking forward to checking out some more amazing companies throughout the year :)
For those who missed out last night the rebroadcast is up and highlights of each Spotlight company will be up soon.
