# Recap: Demos and Drinks from Tech in Motion DC

 Jun 13, 2014 [ Tech in Motion ](https://motionrecruitment-4229238.hs-sites.com/blog/author/tech-in-motion)

On a rainy Wednesday evening in the nation’s capital, our DC chapter hosted the third edition of their Demos and Drinks at the lively night hot-spot, Rumors, located in the trendy District neighborhood of Dupont. Despite the torrential downpour inflicted upon the residents of the DC metro area, our DC Tech in Motion members came out in full force and braved the rain to view the live demos of local startups including The Trip Tribe, TrackMaven and Betterific.

After being featured in the StartupLand documentary, Dave Aidekman's table was flocked with people eager to see the [The Trip Tribe](https://thetriptribe.com/) founder’s platform firsthand. The Trip Tribe offers a service that organizes and curates bucket list type destination trip with members based on social media profiles, which is perfect for travel enthusiasts.

The [TrackMaven](http://trackmaven.com/) table was inundated with attendees as well. They recently had a very successful Series A round of funding (to the tune of $6.5 million) for their incredible marketing analytics platform, which tracks and “digs up the dirt” on both personal marketing metrics and that of competitors.

The third company present that rainy evening was [Betterific](http://betterific.com/), which was named one of The Next Web’s 13 Startup’s to Watch in 2013. Betterific is a crowdsourcing platform that encourages it’s community to finish it’s founding statement of “Wouldn’t it be better if…” when brainstorming innovative ideas.

 We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at our next Tech in Motion DC event. Please [join the group](http://www.meetup.com/TechinMotionDC/) to stay up to date on our events!
