We loved being a part of this year's #SeattleTechWeek! Our event, Startup Challenge: The Reverse Pitch, was co-hosted by University of Washington and Perk Events, was not your typical pitch event. Instead of startups presenting their ideas to potential investors, we flipped the script and highlighted ten critical areas where startups are needed. Huge thank you to our panelists Boaz Ashkenazy, Cindy Ryu, Estelle Giraud, PhD, and Sean Carr, as well as WACEFE board member, Christy Johnson.
