For the second year in a row, we partnered with The Phat Startup to bring Tech808 to NYU's campus. This one-day tech conference - for minority and millennial entrepreneurs - is a mashup of hip hop culture, tech, and entrepreneurship, and brings together a diverse range of leaders, speakers, and panelists to educate and inspire future CEOs. 

The day was a huge success, in part because of the fanastic speakers (listed below) who shared their incredible wealth of knowledge and gave tangible, actionable advice, and because of our engaged and enthusiastic attendees. It was an inspriring day to say the least.
