THE TECHCELERATOR@STATE COLLEGE IS HOSTING A VIRTUAL PITCH EVENT!    

Seven local entrepreneurial teams are in the process of completing a ten-week, virtual, business startup boot camp.  This exciting program has been offered by Ben Franklin’s TechCelerator @State College, in partnership with the Invent Penn State initiative, for nine years.

On Tuesday, November 30, 2021 beginning at 2:00 PM, the teams will pitch their business concepts to a panel of independent judges for a cash prize of up to $10,000!  In addition, the zoom audience members will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite presentation and award a cash prize of $1,000 in the People’s Choice Award.

The cohort represents an exciting mix of emerging products and services including:  a process that will sinter different metal nanoparticles within milliseconds; an AI solution that allows customers to engage with a virtual technician on device repairs; a custom software product for assisting baseball/softball umpires in making correct calls; a social shopper marketplace platform; a solution for finding locally-owned small businesses that offer rewards programs; a dedicated storage device for crypto rewards, and a greenhouse IOT climate sensor.

You won’t want to miss this exciting, virtual event.  Be part of the Zoom audience and help one of these teams win $1,000 by voting in the People’s Choice Award.
