On February 12th, 2014, Meeting of the Minds presented a 1-hour webinar featuring the non-profit accelerator Tumml and the innovative urban start-ups in their program.

Program

How do you launch a startup designed to improve city living? How can you overcome the regulatory and legislative challenges that come from launching an urban impact startup? Come hear the case studies from those working in the trenches of smart city startups!

Tumml, an urban ventures accelerator, will discuss its experience in helping launch and build an ecosystem of urban impact startups. They will be joined by two of their startups: (1) Corral, a multipickup ridesharing solution (think Uber meets Supershuttle) and (2) HandUp, a crowdfunding platform for the homeless.
