The 2nd Power Pitch by Global Chamber Featured 4 Promising Startups

We held the second Global Chamber® "Power Pitch" last week to connect startups with investors.

Startups and Entrepreneurial companies that present will receive experience in pitching, special advice and valuable expert recommendations. The startups are able to develop relationships to raise money from investors. It's all a unique opportunity to find promising startups, too.

Watch the discussion HERE.

"Power Pitch" is a place to create a more powerful network of connections and to gain experience in presenting startups to a panel of professionals who represent venture funds, accelerators and investment banks.

A very special thank you to Gregory Tanner of Aspen Capital for the initiative and leadership to pull the first two pitch events together, including this one. Read more below about Greg Tanner below.
