TechCrunch hosts its first-ever Denver event with a pitch contest on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015.
And the winner of the first ever is …
You’ll just have to wait until tonight when the contest begins as part of Denver Startup Week (yes, for free). The event starts at 6 p.m. at the Galvanize space at 1644 Platte Street. It’s expected to wrap well past bedtime for the kids, which is just as well since there will be alcohol.
The event is actually touted as MeetUp with the contest thrown in for the fun of it. There are more than 1,000 people registered. TechCrunch also finally revealed what companies will get 60 seconds to make their pitch (and they just found out too!):
, which touts “the future of indoor gardening”
, which offers access to cannabis rules and regulations
, a digital receptionist for salons and other businesses
, an online commerce site to rent ski clothing and equipment
, a personal safety device connected to the Internet
, an online primer on how to move and live in the United States
, a monthly kit that teaches kids how to code mobile apps
, a new way to connect to business professionals you’re actually interested in connecting with
And according to , the judges will include Boulder venture capitalist Brad Feld, Kate Shiloh, Techstars’ , AOL’s Luke Beauty (who overseas ) and an unnamed TechCrunch editor.
