Life after successful crowdfunding: Sam Labs, Pi-Top and Emoshape
Details
Hi Hardwarians!
HS LAB is finally back with another great event. We all know achieving a successful crowdfunding campaign is a big challenge, but equally as difficult is continuing momentum after the Kickstarter/Indiegogo buzz.
For this reason we decided to invite 3 of the best hardware startups in town to share with the community their insights from life after crowdfunding.
Free refreshments will be provided by our sponsor Orrick (https://www.orrick.com/Pages/default.aspx).
Orrick is a leading global law firm with a particular focus on serving companies in the technology, energy and financial sectors.
