International Startup Festival was an unqualified success from start to finish. From the location to the speakers, I’m so proud we could hold a world-class event right here at home. Many thanks and congratulations go out to the festival organizers and legion of volunteers. If you’re new to the startup scene, the best way to get familiar really quickly is to get volunteering!
