Tech 121 Presentation

Could be an interesting afternoon ahead, for those who have heard Noah speak you will know that he certainly talks the talk with that smooth Cali accent.

In the next 30 minutes he will be presenting to the Tech Invest 121 conference in Hong Kong in front of 220 sophisticated investors. Will be interesting to see his reception and just how many join the buy side over coming days.
