The rest of the cohort will arrive in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, there is plenty of inspiration to go around with these four teams. If you are in Seattle this Autumn, please stop by. We are at Impact Hub Seattle every weekday, and our schedule of events is visible here.

And… save the eventing of November 21st to meet the fledglings and hear their visions at our Demo Day.
