That’s just one of the nuggests of local tech scene wisdom filmed by Maurice Gaston and David Dylan Thomas, who have spent a year and a half chronicling the growth of the Philly tech scene.
At last year’s Philly Tech Week, the pair debuted a trailer for the web series, eventually called “Developing Philly,” and this year, you can watch the first two episodes on April 24 at Venturef0rth. RSVP here.
