SUMMARY:AccelerateKY Connect. Inform. Inspire

And\, together\, we will think about how we can collaborate across our organizations to build an even stronger environment for supporting innovation in the Bluegrass State. \n\n\n\nAccelerateKY’s Connect. Inform. Inspire. is hosted by the Western Kentucky University Innovation Campus\, with support from the Central Region Innovation and Commercialization Center\, a regional hub office of the KY Innovation network.

SUMMARY:Venture Connectors October Lunch: Venture Shark Finals
DESCRIPTION:Join us in October for the finals of our Venture Sharks pitch competition\, where four early-stage companies and entrepreneurs who are seeking funding for their business plans will compete for cash and prizes. Venture Sharks has awarded more than $100\,000 in prizes since it was launched in 2010. \n\n\n\nThe top ideas were selected to compete in our preliminary round in mid-September\, where the field was narrowed to four finalists.  \n\n\n\nThree startups will fend for themselves against a panel of savvy investor sharks fishing for the next great deal during our regular monthly lunch on Wednesday\, Oct. 6. Competitors will be given a few minutes to present\, then the judges will fire off questions to them in the style of the popular television show\, “Shark Tank.” \n\n\n\nOne lucky survivor will receive a prize package designed to help them take their idea to market\, including a $5\,000 cash award\, one-on-one mentoring from established entrepreneurs and advisors\, as well as in-kind services provided our valued sponsors.
