Evansville Innovation Showcase – 11 startups pitch for your “Investment”

We are trying something completely new for this meetup.

We will be giving you $550 to attend. OK – it’s funny money but it will come in handy as you have an opportunity  tonight to “invest” in the TCA groups and EIA companies.

We will also be passing the hat- OK bucket – and asking you to make a donation to the pot ($5 is suggested – real money please).

We will start with sixty second pitches from each TCA group and EIA company, Each will then move to their table to engage YOU in conversation about their efforts. This is when you will be able to “invest” in those you think hold the most promise.

The TCA group raising the most capital takes home 25% of the pot.

The EIA company  raising the most capital takes home 75% of the pot.

A little background on TCA / EIA 

USI’s Technology Commercialization Academy (TCA) has 5 teams completing 11 weeks of development which begins with a review of available Crane patents and culminates, often after several pivots, with a commercialization plan. TCA is a nationally recognized program which has spawned several viable startups.

USI’s Eagle Innovation Accelerator (EIA) is bringing together 6 early stage innovation based startup companies for an intensive  14 week program to accelerate them to an investable status. This is the first cohort and you will be blown away by the quality of innovation.

Just a note: Pitches asking for actual investment capital are subject to  state and federal securities statutes. Tech on Tap events featuring pitches are informational only and not intended as a venue for solicitation of investment capital. 

As usual doors open at 5:00 / pizza out at 5:30 / pitches start at 6:00 / Investing starts at 6:30 

See you there
