It’s Time to Celebrate and You’re Invited!

On October 15th at 3:30, we will come together online for two hours to focus on the work we are doing to accelerate the growth of technology companies across our region.  RAMP pulls together a world of resources to support our cohort companies, including experienced instructors and lead mentors, who are additionally supported by content mentors. The business knowledge, the connections, and the gracious giving of time are humbling to observe.  I could write a daily blog on the unsung heroes across our region that take time to support our founders and connect them to the resources they need to grow.

On Demo Day, we will share some wonderful successes from our alumni and celebrate the six companies in the 2020 cohort that chose to do the hard work over these past few months.  Even during these challenging times, I believe you will see that they have significantly moved the needle to better position their future success, and we are proud of them.

We will also celebrate the recently announced $1M in grant funds from the U.S. Department of Commerce resulting in a $2.08 million investment over the next three years to scale our work and expand the regional innovation ecosystem.

I hope I have convinced you that we have a great deal to celebrate and you will be joining us for

Demo Day, Oct 15th at 3:30 p.m.

Those who register before Oct 2nd at 5:00 p.m. will receive a special gift.

I look forward to seeing you!

Register for Demo Day

Director, RAMP
