coaching was invaluable to our success."

Jeff Fedor, Co-Founder of ParkVu another MobiTechFest finalist, notes, "We made

MobiTechFest than we had in the past several months of activity, and had many
positive responses to our Fund Fest presentation."

seed, first institutional round, additional funding, Series-A and B rounds -
