LaunchHouse to Host Showcase for Tech Startups
The firms participated in LaunchHouse's accelerator program and will gain access to investors and potential customers.
Shaker LaunchHouse on Wednesday will host a showcase for the startup firms the group has been working with for the past 12 weeks.
The tech businesses participated in LaunchHouse's Accelerator Program, where they learned about concept validation, revenue models and acquiring customers. During LHX Showcase Day, the companies will present their business concepts to a group of potential investors and customers.
"For many of the LHX startups, this will be their first public pitch to investors with the aim of raising their initial round of funding," founding LaunchHouse partner Stephanie Colangelo said in an email.
