*America's most important startup?* This is a really long video. More than an hour. Why is it so long? Because Techshop could be the most important startup to United States' manufacturing industry. Here we spend an hour with CEO Mark Hatch. What is Techshop? It's a place where you can make things. We get an in-depth tour. You can learn more here: http://www.techshop.ws In this video you'll also meet several startups that call Techshop home. This is why Techshop is so important to our economy. It's providing a place for many other startups to get going, meet cofounders, and make the things that need to be made to startup companies.
