PITCH DAY
Join us to hear pitches from Mississippi’s hottest new startups during the CoBuilders finale on Pitch Day, July 28, from 10 am – 4 pm.
CoBuilders, Mississippi’s first statewide startup accelerator, brings together resources from across the State to provide support for the best startup ideas to launch and grow. Through a series of pitch events hosted by regional partners, 21 startups were identified and invited to participate in the first cohort, a 12-week intensive program designed to escalate their growth and opportunity for success. The companies were provided funding and a process to all work toward the goal of being “Investor-Ready” and those that qualify will be presenting at “Pitch Day” on July 28, where they will pitch to angel investors from around the state and region. Investors and others who want to see these emerging startups are invited to attend.
