If you trekked through this year’s Entrepreneur Expo, a longtime Philly Tech Week staple organized by Philly Startup Leaders, you had a chance to see 69 startups posted up at the 23rd Street Armory.
Part of Philly Tech Week 2017 presented by Comcast, the event drew some 1,500 attendees looking to connect to the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
“The Entrepreneur Expo always get me fired up about the state of our tech scene,” said Bob Moore, the newly minted PSL president. “This year was no exception. The three hours were up in the blink of an eye and I barely scratched the surface of meeting all the great companies.”

The startup-palooza gave way to a Pass the Gavel ceremony, in which Moore officially took the helm of the volunteer organization from former PSL president Brock Weatherup, alongside former presidents Bob Moul, Rick Nucci and Chris Cera.
