I bet it's an especially happy Friday for Project Travel and WeDeliver, who won the hottest showcasing startup prizes at our Chicago mixer last night. Congrats to them, and thanks to everyone who joined us! It's pretty hot here in Vegas right now, but things will be even hotter in October. Yes, I'm talking about Tech Cocktail Celebrate and our search for the hottest startup in America. Plans are shaping up, so stay tuned for updates and be sure to apply to your local mixer if you want a chance to compete.
