TechLaunch 5.0: Who will be Idaho’s Entrepreneurial Idol?

Wow, I can’t believe it’s time for TechLaunch again.  This was by far one of the coolest events I went to last year.  I highly encourage you to check it out.

Think you have what it takes to be Idaho’s Entrepreneurial Idol?

Contact Idaho TechConnect to find out how you can qualify for TechLaunch 5.0, the early stage venture capital educational event, May 29 at the Doubletree Riverside in Boise, Idaho.

We will help you determine if you are ready to compete in the statewide competition.

Participants can be new startups or existing companies with a new product. Companies presenting will have generally mastered the uniqueness of their respective technologies and are now seeking to perfect the overall business model attributes.

The ideal company is one that will be seeking financing in the next 12 – 18 months. Two companies will be selected from each region of the state and will compete for a grand prize before a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, commercial bankers and angel investors.
