Good number of companies, each exploring a slightly different take on the subject. Good presenters, though it was sometimes hard to hear. Very worthwhile.

Couldn't hear the speakers and the beverages being served were a bit sub par. I would like to attend again though, to see if that may have been an unfortunate bit of luck in regards to my first event with Founders and Funders.

Matches That Matters introduces more singles over-40, faster and more affordably than any other dating service. We were delighted by the interest from potential investors who stopped by our booth.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, and a Big Thank You to Anna and her team.
The video we were showing will be on our new, revamped website next week.

A good array of new companies. I was pleased to see some extending beyond dating to the longer term of one's life relationships.

You obviously missed winemaps, serving good vintages from small family vineyards in Mendocino county. Lucky for you I drank your share!
