“Part of what Hub101 is trying to do is make the Conjeo Valley as a whole one of the most startup-friendly communities in the world. Being a part of this Roundtable will allow me to bring the entrepreneurial community’s view to the conversation, and hopefully ensure the policies put in place by the City Council contribute to achieving this goal.”
