7/31 MassChallenge Startup Showcase!
Tomorrow (7/31) is the MassChallenge Startup Showcase! It’ll feature over 90 of the 2012 Finalists and Alumni in Residence. As a primer to the showcase, we decided to show off these amazing companies by putting all of their “Twitter pitches” in one place. I did abbreviate some of them to fit the 140 characters allowed by Twitter, but you get the gist. The hashtag to use and follow is #MCSS2012 (MassChallenge Startup Showcase 2012) and of course, feel free to share each pitch by using the “Click the tweet” links. You can also share this post by clicking the Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, or Facebook shares on the right hand column or by clicking right here.
See ya there!
