At PyConn, 2023, there was a section of the Expo floor dedicated to new Python-based companies called Startup Row.

I wanted to bring their stories and the experience of talking with these new startups to you.

Talk Python here on Startup Row. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, it's fantastic to have you here.

We met yesterday here at PyCon US and you were telling me about your project, Ponder,
