It is that time of year again! My friends at Hardware Massive are putting together another hardware startup pitch series and have what I call a “double header” with back to back events in both Shenzhen and Hong Kong for their chapters there.
If you are a startup looking for exposure and a chance to get the big break you need, this is a good chance for you! Let me know if you’d like to apply and get connected to show off your product.
Here’s the event details – which you can also find on their sites (to register as well)
