STARTUP STORIES

“In attending just two LEAP events, I’ve learned so much. It’s a one stop solution, to meeting incredible founders, partners, investors and customers all under one roof across a few days. Everyone is incredibly friendly and focused on growth. I highly recommend LEAP for those looking to grow their business in a short period of time within an awesome community of people.”
