Testimonials
The Trans Tech Conference has been an important hub for finding the right investors for us to work with. In the 2018 event, we met an investor who just put $$ into our SAFE. Even more valuable than that though has been the network of investors who have become a part of our larger community, and offered regular feedback on my company.
Currently loving my Muse2 purchased at your event! I was so pleased I attended your event. It really opened my eyes to what’s happening out there and made me immensely positive!
It was awesome. Coolest conference I've ever been to and was really excited to be a part of it. The crowd was great, and the amount of interaction was really amazing.
The TTC is an extraordinary conference. In two days-time you will feel up to date, inspired, and connected with the most important figures in the field.
Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful event - my brain is exploding from the quality content and connections. The event was well worth the investment and time and we look forward to working with you in the future.
You’ve found a way to bring together the visionaries and the doers
The TT community has exposed Unmind to a variety of senior decision-makers from both the public and private sector, alongside the opportunity to connect with like-minded founders around the world for advice, insight, and support. It's a deeply passionate network of innovative leaders and consistently offers opportunities for both professional and personal growth.
The TTC was in direct language way above (Everest size) every other comparable conference I've been to in the last 5 years. The 20-minute format was the perfect balance between the 5 minute speed date, 45 minute talk with a panelists.
I wanted to thank you both once more for the chance to attend the conference this weekend. To say I am mind-blown is an understatement, and I can't wait to talk through some of what I've learned and experienced. So much awe and gratitude to everyone who was a part of it!
You can tell something special is happening there
As a founder, I went to TTC with a seed of a company, and left with all the tools and resources I needed to build a multi-million dollar enterprise destined to impact the lives of individuals worldwide. Can you believe I literally met half of my founding team at TTC!? The space was filled with high-vibrational energy, critical insights, and overflowing with organic connections. It's only been a few months since the conference, and so much has already manifested for my company. Eternally grateful to the TTC family for bringing such mission-driven, gifted professionals together! This space is creating major ripple effects.
We presented our prototype after years of neuroscience research and development at TTConf. The attendance at our booth was high and we created ongoing business connections. All that led to the formation of our company breathing.ai right after. We met our first client at TTConf, and one of our founders also connected with us through the TT network. I cannot imagine where our company would be without TT - probably still to be created. It was an incredibly inspiring experience, with longlasting professional connections and personal friendships.
The Transformative Tech Conference is the best tech conference I've ever attended. As an investor, I was able to focus my time on connecting deeply with others interested in my mission to invest in socially transformative technology that can improve mental wellbeing. It was a non-stop flood of connectivity, learning, meeting founders, meeting investors, understanding how we can use tech to transform human wellness. This is the model of what an industry focused technology conference should be.
