“Tech companies have some very specific hurdles they have to get over – one of them is price point.” – Josh Berry
1. Start-up Pavilion – so many new, fresh ideas.
2. SaaS-based start-ups are getting more attention from the Venture Capital World.
3. Start-up Tech Community vs. Established HR Tech Companies = Opportunities to Collaborate.
4. Reverse Mentoring – why not?
5. Are tech companies really keeping up with the needs of the industry? Teaching companies how to pivot in strategy.
“Engagement Technology. A lot of people are attempting it, an interesting study from Workbench (B2B Accelerator in NYC) – Engagement was the only vertical that didn’t have any $5-10 Million players – the biggest gap where is a need – a lot of small players that are not able to tackle it .” – Josh Berry
