SF Hardware Startups Meetup

I joined SF Hardware Startups Meetup this week, here are some pics.

Format of the event is that each startup gets 2 minutes, no slides are allowed (in fact they won't have projectors) so you either demo or talk.

The fun part is before and after the talks, you have tons of time to touch their products in the early stage (usually not on sale yet), try them, play with them, and talk with the teams that built them :)

Bolt motorbikes and their electric motorbike.
