We had a great weekend with our participants, mentors, volunteers and judges. It was a really interesting mix of technology, product and business professionals coming together to be creative and work on innovative new machine learning business ideas. We all made a lot of great new contacts and friends while working long hours, eating great food and enjoying stunning views from Madrona’s offices. We really appreciate everyone’s help and participation! Can’t wait for the next ‘Go Vertical’ event.
"The GoVertical event was outstanding. Over the course of a few days/weeks, I had the opportunity to get an idea off the ground, network with 50 other aspiring entrepreneurs, and learn from experienced leaders in the industry. I walked away with invaluable learnings and insights about key tech trends and what it truly means to work on a startup. If you are looking to take the leap into entrepreneurship, this is a can't-miss event!"
"GoVertical ML event had so many smart, passionate entrepreneurs collaborating towards bringing their dreams to reality."
"I met a lot of hard working and interesting people and learned a ton in the process."
"This is the most I have a learned in one weekend."
