We attended the NCET Small Business Expo to educate the community on the many entrepreneurial resources within the ecosystem. We utilized our Startup Deck and played Blackjack, and won the honor of “Most Fun!”
In partnership with the RSCVA, we launched our new website, to market to tech founders and employees out of the market. Take a look HERE.
