In parallel, an invitation only Investor-Innovator Happy Hour will be hosted on the Godfrey & Kahn rooftop for private pitch to Angel groups. 

Two tracks are open for applications:

Submit an executive summary and a five-minute pitch at https://ventureintelligence.co. The first 30 applicants also receive free Summerfest tickets.

The top 3 applicants will be selected in advance to give 5 minute pitches on June 24th to local angel groups. One team will be selected on June 24th to give a full presentation to 3 angel groups and will also advance to present to VCs at the fall HIP event at NVNG’s +Venture Health. Winning teams will get legal and BD consulting. 

Whether you're ready to pitch or simply want to connect with Wisconsin's healthcare innovation ecosystem, this is an event worth attending.
