Health care companies make up the bulk of this year’s finalists for an annual contest designed for emerging businesses in the Madison area while one is focused on better transportation methods and another on finance.
The five businesses are part of the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce Pressure Chamber that will be held Aug. 18 during Forward Festival, Wisconsin’s largest technology and entrepreneurship gathering. The five finalists will make pitches to national investors, business executives and a live audience with the winning company invited to the Chamber’s startup meetings this fall with top Silicon Valley investment firms.
“This year’s Pressure Chamber finalists are a perfect illustration of the many global challenges being solved right here in Greater Madison,” said Zach Brandon, president of the Chamber. “We look forward to their pitches, hearing their remarkable stories and ultimately helping them connect with potential investors.”
