Kickstart Startup Mixer: LEARN!

"The Cloud is a great place to invent.”

Startups are always exploring ways to leverage and monetize digital media, services, and social networking. Exploring new models and services can be an expensive proposition just to discover that an idea may or may not work.

You may have also wondered:
(i) What is the cloud doing exactly for startups today?
(ii) What are the 2014 trends coming out of Silicon Valley that could provide the seed for startups in the idea phase now?
(iii) How does the local environment differ to Silicon Valley e.g. funding, demographics, infrastructure, payment systems?

Then come to the Kickstart Startup Mixer: LEARN!
