CourseStorm, Casco Bay Creamery, GO Lab, Sidewalk Buttler, and Vintage Maine Kitchen will participate in live a pitch competition to be held the evening of Tuesday, June 4 at USM’s Hannaford Hall in Portland.
LaunchPad helps Maine’s innovators and entrepreneurs reach the next level with an award of $50,000 from Gorham Savings Bank. The five Maine companies were selected from an applicant pool of more than150 businesses as the finalists of the seventh annual LaunchPad competition.
Each business will present in front of a live audience and an independent panel of judges will decide which these Maine businesses will be awarded the $50,000 grant. LaunchPad judges are Ford Reiche, entrepreneur and co-founder of Safe Handling Inc.; Chris Claudio, Logically CEO and co-founder; and Catherine Cloudman, shareholder and board member of Village Fertility Pharmacy. Business consultant Michelle Neujahr will emcee.
It’s an honor to have been selected as a LaunchPad competitor and we’re looking forward to June 4th.
Good luck to all our fellow entrepreneurs — it’s going to be a great evening!
