”Alex and I have been fortunate to be a part of the Silicon Couloir ecosystem since before Highpoint was Highpoint... Heck—we’ve been involved with Silicon Couloir before we had cider. TEAMS mentorship, and Chance Meetings have been foundational for us. There is so much knowledge and talent in the valley, being able to tap into that intellectual resource is priceless. In a very real sense, Highpoint likely would not exist without Silicon Couloir— we found our production space because of a Chance Meeting. Come meet people, come make friends, and come meet some awesome people along the way.”
