Incredible success stories are happening right here in Columbia. Join us at our next Tech on Tap as Tyler Robertson, founder and CEO of Diesel Laptops, shares his origin story of building a company from scratch to nine-figure revenue and the incredible team he's assembled along the way. He'll share the lessons learned – the good and the bad.


Every third Thursday evening at the Boyd Innovation Center we bring an experienced founder to share insights on the challenges that can make or break your tech startup. Grab a drink, connect with the community, and learn from those who have been there before.
