I often wonder how companies come up with their names. I want an event that explains some of these names @UWVeloCity! #uwVVF

@write_girl I named a few of the startups living in the @UWVeloCity residence this term, but none of the #uwVVF finalists

Hi everyone, really sorry for the inconvenience. We're back up.
