Good Morning London Startups!

Just in case you missed it - Last week, StartupDigest was funded by the Kauffman Foundation. As one of the first Curators I feel extra honoured to be a part of this awesome worldwide movement :) Thanks to all our subscribers, we hope to make this service more useful as we grow - let's keep those subscriptions coming! 

Now, on to this week's picks: Not at SXSW? Then come along to NOT@SXSW! Hosted by LikeMinds & WildIrishGuy Productions. It's sure to be belter! Do get in with the tickets, it's happening TONIGHT and they're going FAST! 

I'd like to take a moment to mention two consistently great tech event organizers:
  1. Camerjam which are having a Mobile Retail Master Class this week! Always amazing content, great snacks, better speakers and a relaxed vibe for networking - check these guys out!
  2. Mashup Event who are having an event this evening on Social Gaming. If you are into this subject, the Panel will be well organized and the attendees are always relevant to the space! 

Also, I can't stress this enough but GeeknRolla is coming in only 2 weeks!! It's gonna be awesome, so be there! 46 tickets are still available as this is written! 

Until next week everyone!
