Tech, telehealth companies pitch for possible investor interest
On Oct. 11, Launch NH’s Pitch Event, powered by Softeq Venture Studio, featured pitches from 11 tech startups in the state to weigh their investment potential.
Jamie Simchik, co-founder of Launch NH, spoke to NH Business Review on an episode of the “Down to Business” podcast, sharing that, at the event, “We get to learn more about who’s existing right now in New Hampshire with startups and what’s happening. We’re looking for the next best thing, the next Dean Kamen, the next Oracle, that becomes something else.
“I’m enjoying meeting new companies and learning about them.
And I think the problem is finding out about them, and how do we become a lightning rod (for their future success)?”
The goal of the event is to choose six companies to go through Softeq’s accelerator program in Houston, Texas, based on their pitches and its economic impact on New Hampshire.
This year’s participating companies are:
Avendly, a robotic automation vending system for bars, restaurants and food service.
