Tech on Tap, Thursday, October 16, 5–6:30 pm at the Boyd Innovation Center, featuring Lanford Holloway: From Idea to Exit.

Join Us for October’s Tech on Tap featuring founder of TerraStride (opens in a new tab) and HuntStand (opens in a new tab), Lanford Holloway.

Lanford will share insights from the complete startup journey – from rough concept sketches to private equity exit. This isn't a polished success story; it's the real, uneven path of building a company over a decade.

Join us for drinks, light bites, meaningful connection, and lessons from the field. Bring someone, meet someone, and learn something!


Tech on Tap is a monthly community gathering to connect with Columbia’s tech scene and learn from pros who have built, scaled, and exited successful companies.

Join us every third Thursday evening for expert insights on the challenges that can make or break your tech startup—from incorporation decisions to scaling strategies.

It's networking with purpose: connect with fellow founders & tech professionals while learning from entrepreneurs who've guided successful companies through these exact decisions.

Tech on Tap is for you if:

  • You're building, growing, or scaling a tech company.
  • You're interested in starting a tech business.
  • You're a technology professional looking to connect with others in Columbia's tech scene.
