Among the stories highlighted are the President and CEO of Crayola discussing why the Lehigh Valley is the right place to do business; a startup that makes “smart balls” raising $1 million; two Lehigh University graduates creating a portable bowling machine for cricket practice; and the 2016 Lehigh Valley Business of the Year awards.

The latest LVstartup also spotlights several upcoming events, including a free Lehigh Valley dinner event called “Portfolio Software Value Management,” an LVTech meetup focused on information security, and the Lehigh Valley Collegiate Career Expo (LVCCE), which targets new graduates and students for internship and employment opportunities.
Each month, LVstartup features a Lehigh Valley startup. This issue, the company is Altor Locks, a Bethlehem-based startup that has created the world’s lightest high-security bike lock.
