There is no slowdown with tech stories, especially with Google I/O happening this past week, but since we care about Minnesota tech first we were pleased to have one of the co-founders and CEO of Minneapolis startup Vugo, Rob Flessner (LinkedIn; Twitter), on this week’s show. He will fill us in on this just over one year old startup and you will find out how they fit in to one of the hottest areas in transportation today. You’ll also learn why you should keep an eye on their continued growth!
