Fifty of New England’s fastest-growing hot companies will be selected to pitch their growth stories to the region’s leading private capital investors. The five top presenting companies, as ranked by the investors, will qualify to participate in a Pitch-Off, where they will deliver a 1-minute elevator pitch during the networking session. The audience will select the most compelling presentation as the winner.

Participating companies will represent all sectors and development stages, from start-up to later-stage. They will “speed pitch” to 25 of the region’s savviest and shrewdest investors, ranging from individuals and Angel investors to venture capital firms and private equity and mezzanine financiers, in private sessions throughout the afternoon. Following the speed venturing segment, the Summit includes a public business networking session and a Pitch-Off among the top five companies selected by investors.
