This week I returned from an incredible field trip to Silicon Valley. My aim was to chat with as many startups as possible to discover what was hot, what was not, and what tech will look like in the future. Some of the companies I visited included Facebook, Google, Zendesk, ClassPass and GoDaddy.
To summarise just a few of the exciting things I learned, Iāve written an article highlighting what to look out for this year.
Iāve got a few more posts in progress, and will share them with you once I get clearance from Facebookās PR department! Stay tuned.
āTill next time!
