We had the opportunity to not only get marketing mentoring from the head of marketing for IBM at their HQ, but free legal advice by professionals in the tech industry and lots of strategy and startup founder's inputs.  It was an amazing experience.

BUT...Unfortunately we were runner's up.  We did have the opportunity to pitch in front of multiple angel investors and Tech Crunch magazine.  Here is a photo from the Google Campus presentation:

An amazing event that helped us get a realistic look at our business which we will share our books with you next!
