JOIN US FOR OUR SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE CANOPY STARTUP SESSIONS

PRESENTED BY VELIR (https://www.velir.com/) & GESMER UPDEGROVE
WITH ADDITIONAL SUPPORT PROVIDED BY

APPLAUSE (http://www.applause.com/) | BIGFISH PR (http://bigfishpr.com/) | TRINET (http://www.trinet.com/)

The Canopy Startup Sessions feature the community's top startups--spanning technology, healthcare and social impact--in the heart of Somerville's Davis Square.

Each startup has three minutes to demo their product in front of a live audience. It's not a pitch but an opportunity for each startup to explain (and show) what they have been working on. After each demo, there is a five min Q&A with the audience. The idea is to foster innovation, ideation and the cross-pollination of ideas.

Afterwards, grab a beer or wine upstairs for a tour of Canopy, a social impact-focused, community co-working space on the third floor!
