Three local tech junkies need your help to win the Global Startup Battle Championship for their development of a streamlined audio chat tool called Eagle Speak. Eagle Speak is a communication platform that allows users to receive and respond to real-time voice messages without having to abandon open applications, search for instant-message windows or correct typos, thereby increasing focus and productivity.
Eagle Speak was first presented during Startup Weekend Springfield, where it earned first place, the Audience Choice Award and a spot to compete in the Global Startup Battle Championship. The development trio includes Myke Bates of The Alchemedia Project, Brandon Cash of 40 Digits and freelancer Jason Arend.
