Elevate Ventures hosts “Investor Day” In early July, Elevate hosted its first Investor Day, providing an opportunity for Elevate clients to meet other investors and present their pitch presentation. Investors included entities like Allos Ventures, Halo Capital Group, BioCrossroads, CHV Capital, the Purdue P3 Alliance and investor group representatives. Pitching companies included Emerging Threats Pro, Wolfe Diversified Industries, Lab Automate Technologies and Silicon BioDevices.
“This was a great opportunity for investors to get a good look at potential deals and meet other investors, while giving the presenters an opportunity to pitch to investors and get valuable feedback on their business plans. Partnerships like these are critical as we think about strengthening the State’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
– Jim Jay, TechEquity Ventures
