Does anyone want to talk about how 2020 is almost over? The year that we thought would never end is...almost done. I don’t know about you, but I’m waiting for a Groundhog Day moment come December 31st. I’m kidding, I think.
However, this is NOT why we are gathered here today, on this blog post. We’re here to CELEBRATE our local startups! They’re defeating all odds of this year, and doing some awesome stuff. Look out world, here they come!
