Last night we kicked off our first meetup of the year, Startups to Watch, Presented by Arity. The sold out event made for a great crowd and the WeWork National Building contributed with an amazing hosting space.
The night was centered around 10 pitches and 2 Q&A sessions from Arity, EatPakd, FourKites, Gunslinger Studios, Hearken, Infiniscene, M1 Finance, PartySlate, Rise Science and Victory Lap. From real-time load tracking for transportation to Pintrest for event professionals the highlighted group of startups each gave key insight on day-to-day problems they were solving and how tech was helping connect the divide.
A big thank you to everyone who attended, participated and helped make last night successful! We've selected some of the best photos and tweets from last night's event below! Check them out and don't forget to check out our upcoming event Food Inno, Presented by National Foodworks Services. Space is limited, snag tickets before it's too late!
