Musiio by SoundCloud

I had such fun at the #womenintechexcellence awards at the London Hilton On Park Lane yesterday. I was delighted to be nominated as a Tech Leader but I was even more excited to celebrate a win for Asha Easton from Innovate UK Business Connect who is an absolute BOSS and everyone should be following her on LinkedIn; she shares so many business and startup funding opportunities. To quote Asha "We want to know where the money is!" Congrats Asha on winning "Emerging Tech Champion Of the Year". Also thanks to team SoundCloud and the Musiio by SoundCloud folks Will Betts, Mack Hamper, Nisah Jfr, Daniella Matzke, Hope Hale, Scott Macrae, David Simkins and Amy Farrington for making it such a fun night! #musictech #tech #womenintech #musiio #soundcloud #musiiobysoundcloud #ai #ml #artificialintelligence
