"I'm sure that we will hear about several capital-raising success stories from this year's winners, as we have in all of the past years' Pitching Across America competitions!"
The innovation that drives our nation forward was more evident than ever at this years Pitching Across America event, said Bill Funcannon, Managing Director, OVP Venture Partners. I was impressed by the caliber of the companies, the variety of industry segments, and the passion displayed by the presenters."
The emerging companies were evaluated on a scale of 1 to 10. Judging criteria consisted of several key points including: the professionalism of the written summary, current stage of development (customers, revenue), competitive advantage and need in the marketplace, feasibility for success, and whether the company is "VentureWorthy."
"I was happy to be a judge in this years Pitching Across America competition, said Richard Irving, Co-Founder, Pond Ventures. I've been a judge for the past several years and am always pleasantly surprised by the companies involved. Congrats to this years winners and to FundingPost for putting this together.
