Softec Tech Pitch

First Pitches are In-Play

Time to make yours?

Tech Pitch Intent

The Tech Pitch event is an effort to help emerging tech teams form in our community. Our goal with this event is to create Softec Moments where people connect, explore ideas, and create businesses. While we encourage people to pitch ideas at the event, we accept written submissions. When you pitch, you get feedback and questions to refine your pitch that goes into this after-event email.

Submit Ideas in Writing

Last month confirmed what we suspected. The after-event email created all the Softec Moments where people connected and explored ideas. Only time will tell if these become full Softec Moments. If you cannot make the live event, you can submit your idea summary in writing. Just read the specifications on the learn more page and email to president@softec.org

All New Business Ideas are Welcome

While we love innovations, technology, and all things geek, a tech pitch does not have to be these things. If you want to start any new business and need to find co-founders, partners, or key employees, we want to help.

This month's Tech Pitch Ideas

Water Conservation Offset Marketplace

Liquid8 is creating a water conservation and trading marketplace that will allow corporate sustainability directors to meet their water-neutral goals with the click of a button. We incentivize home and business owners to save water, turn those savings into Water Conservation Offsets, then offer those offsets up for sale on our marketplace.
