Founders Live is an unforgettable happy hour competition where up to five companies pitch their business, but YOU decide who wins.
Five handpicked companies take the hot seat, with only 99 seconds to pitch their company and describe their value proposition in front of an eager audience. Ater the pitches and audience Q&A, the crowd votes on a winner who will not only receive an award but recognition from the crowd and the opportunity to talk more about their product or service. It's like shark tank, but you decide who wins it all!
What's in it for you? Bring your friends, co-workers, grab some food and drinks, get to know your local entrepreneurs and vote for who you think will be the next big thing in Minneapolis!
