I don’t know about our CEO, Mark Lee, but I’m nervous excited for our presentation at Under the Radar on Thursday of this week. There are a lot of reasons why our presentation is going rock. Mark presents first thing in the morning. This can make for a tough crowd depending on the amount of available coffee. But, really, this just means that everyone is fresh and ready to see some serious innovation.

A lot of companies talk about how their product works but we’ve made a commitment to “eating our dog food.” We work, browse and present with Splashtop whenever we can. Finally, Mark is a great public speaker! He is very passionate about Splashtop and the power of our product.
