ActiveTrak (www.gadgettrak.com) is the winner of last night’s Northwest Startup DEMO held at One Union

Portland, OR. “Northwest Startup DEMO is a great forum for entrepreneurs and start‐ups to demonstrate their
technology in front of their peers, and get recognition in our region.”

businesses that presented last night are a testimony to the hotbed of innovation that is the Pacific Northwest.”
