Looking Forward: SXSW 2013

By 1 Min Read

Now that I got the messy and uncomfortable, but necessary, blog post out of the way, I want to share my excitement for the events this month.

I have made a lot of progress going through the Venture Forth program, and my pitch deck is nearly complete. I will be attending a variety of startup showcase events and performing pitches to potential investors. I hope to create a lot of positive buzz about my company, and get an investment so I can take the company to the next step.

The first two events are this Friday, and then next week I have a few more to attend.

Unfortunately our demo for the Martell TV app will not be complete until SXSW ends, but I hope to find some interested parties who would like to be contacted once the demo is ready to show. I will consider the event a success if I can generate some solid leads.
