Sergiu & Nick
"I thought the MatchMaking discussion was the most valuable part of the BOLD experience due to it being an unconventional meeting with someone who I may not have otherwise connected with. Very useful and enjoyable. It changed my thinking on the possibilities of the technologies discussed and made me appreciate the under-the-radar business that is being created. I strongly believe in the need for cross-pollination from the arbitrary industry silos and categories that can constrain our thinking."
