Thank you, San Francisco! That’s a Wrap on AWS’s first Startup Day of 2018

Venture capitalist Charles Hudson talks to the audience at AWS Startup Day San Francisco.

On Wednesday, April 18th, nearly 200 attendees gathered at the AWS Loft for the second annual AWS Startup Day in San Francisco. The day was filled with excitement, learning, and networking, allowing attendees to choose between either Technical or Business tracks in the afternoon, after several general sessions in the morning. Startup founders, entrepreneurs, technical specialists, and venture capitalists headlined the panels and sessions throughout the day, providing new insights, advice, and guidance for participants of the event. (Some speakers were even return guests, like Precursor Ventures’ Charles Hudson.)
