This event is not a competition. It’s a real pitch with opportunities to get funding from local, regional and national investors.

IPDC companies have been going through intense preparation. Companies qualified to pitch have to present their business to investors following a format carefully researched and thought through to cover all the important elements of a business – from the strategic idea to financials.

Companies have to be fully rehearsed and ready to deliver their pitch within only eight minutes. Some investors will be attending the pitch in person, others will be joining the event online through ZOOM.

Even though the event is closed to the public, the significance of it may affect many companies in Gainesville. Santa Fe IPDC provides opportunities for funding to product developing companies as one of their many services.
