VoiceHero and Midgame, Alexa Accelerator Double Feature

On Tuesday, October 8th, the Seattle Alexa Meetup is glad to have two speakers from the 2019 Alexa Accelerator cohort. We'll be welcoming in Joseph Truong from VoiceHero, and Jason Shen from Midgame.

About VoiceHero (and Joseph):

"A participant in season six of the Amazing Race Canada and recipient of numerous accolades and distinctions throughout his academic career, Joseph Truong knows what it takes to hustle. Joseph joined forces with Jacob Chan with the desire to create a company that would ride the wave of the explosive growth in voice. After months of customer discovery efforts and a few pivots leading up to the Alexa Accelerator, they found the opportunity to create VoiceHero, a suite of analytical tools for voice skills."

About Midgame:

"Today’s gamers are not just playing Mario Kart. They’re commanding epic adventures and battles with multiple stakeholders and complexities. Jason Shen - along with his cofounder Wayne Gerard - were tired of the distractions and delays of reading user-generated game wikis and searching the web for tips and tricks to help them become the next esports legend. They created Midgame to build game-specific interactive agents that allow gamers to keep track of in game activities, query for specific insights, and log achievements all hands free using voice, so gamers can stay in the game."
