BCS Startup Tech Hour
April 22, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Welcome all those who are interested in startups! Come on out to socialize and connect with the local startup community. We have a new set of local startups demoing their tech and founders pitching for cofounders. Of course it’s completely free for everyone.
Whether you are looking for co-founders, seeking to join early-stage startups, or just want to see some tech in action and network, this is the event to attend. Our goal is to organize face-to-face meetings. Everyone is welcome to attend: entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, executives looking for a more exciting and challenging opportunity, investors looking for the next big thing in the BCS area.
So come on out and join us for a grand ole time of food, drinks, and startups! As always, the food is free!

*Update:
At 8pm in the VIP area upstairs, Clark Moody and Dan Held will be joining us to discuss their experiences with Bitcoin and how cryptocurrencies are changing the world. Both are graduates of Texas A&M University. Clark Moody developed RTBTC, a trading platform for Bitcoin and Dan Held is the co-founder of ZeroBlock, the most reviewed and highest rated mobile app for Bitcoin. Both of their companies were recently acquired by Blockchain, the world’s most popular web wallet for Bitcoin. By combining both of their concepts, they are creating the “Bloomberg” of Bitcoin. For more information on the merger, see the article: http://upstart.bizjournals.com/money/loot/2014/03/04/blockchain-buys-rtbtc-with-bitcoin.html
Reading up on the topic beforehand is encouraged, as cryptocurrencies are on the cutting edge of new technology. Here is an article which has a brief summary: http://www.csi-india.org/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=2ef8a394-c8b7-48ed-b9a2-ad081a4a74ee&groupId=10157
