PacBizTimes – Birdeez Wins UCSB New Venture Competition!

PacficCoastBusinessTimesLogo-300x71Amazing to think won against such a great field of competitors! We’re thrilled that we won the New Venture Competition’s Market Pull category, and happy for the coverage in Pacific Coast Business Times!

“At first we though, Birds? What?” said Mike Panesis, one of the event’s organizers. “But this team impressed us every step of the way, with both their technology and their business.”
