-- COMMUNITY PARTNERS
I’m not interested in copying Silicon Valley. I’m interested in building something that’s ours - rooted in this community, for this community. That’s what TBTW and HyLo Innovation are about. We’re not waiting for someone to give us permission to be a tech city. We’re building it.
