TECH Cocktail Boston took place last night at the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center — otherwise known as NERD — where 14 chosen startup teams displayed their products.

After grabbing some snacks and beers to wash it down, we made our rounds and spoke with many of the companies ourselves. (more…)
