Founded in 1864, Boise, aka The City of Trees, ranks as the 101st largest city in the US (according to the 2011 census) and was voted the #1 city for men in 2013 by Men’s Health. These are all facts I pulled from Wikipedia. A fact that doesn’t require Wikipedia’s aid: Boise has an up-and-coming, vibrant startup scene. This is information gleaned from Tech Cocktail’s most recent Boise Startup Showcases. That’s why Tech Cocktail is beyond excited to bring the Mixer parade back to Southwestern Idaho on April 17th.
Immediately following the develop.idaho conference, Tech Cocktail invites you to check out some local startups, hang out with your fellow technophile, and of course enjoy a few cocktails at the Stueckle Sky Center at BSU.
< Register for the Mixer Here >
We’ll have a dozen up-and-coming startups on hand showcasing their goods, but before the Mixer kicks off, we want to know what you think – who is Boise’s Hottest Showcasing Startup?
Let us know your thoughts by answering the poll at the end of this post (ends at 6:00pm local time on the day of the event). The winner will be announced live at the event and will receive a couple of minutes on stage to pitch their startup in front of all attendees. Don’t miss out.
