Excited to have @dbrown founder and CEO @techstars for the sixth @forty3north Finals. Be there on October 30th and join over 3000 others to see why it’s happening #Buffalo
Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston aren't the only places where you can find great startups. Buffalo is a strong example of a city with an emerging startup ecosystem that is worth taking a look at. Looking forward to the @43north #startups pitch competition later this month.
