SplashX - Networking Event for Startups and Investors

July 28, 2016 - HP HEADQUARTERS, PALO ALTO, CA

SplashX isn't Splash - our full-day event and startup competition. SplashX is an intimate (100 people) evening gathering for startups (and investors), designed to be part networking, and part learning (particularly about the startup ecosystem in a particular city/location). After all, it's great to talk and make connections, but it's even better if you can do so while also being informed, and having something to talk about, or something to break the ice - like some awesome Splash Talks.
