Pitch Across Maryland Bus in Lex Park Sept. 24

If you have a business or product idea that’s ready to take to the next level, then the Southern Maryland Innovation and Technology (SMIT) Team is interested in hearing your pitch!

SMIT convenes in Lexington Park, Southern Maryland’s “Tech Hub,” bringing entrepreneurs, inventors, developers, researchers, mentors, investors and the broader entrepreneurial community to MeetUp on the fourth Wednesday of each month. This is your place to interact with innovators, showcase promising ventures, and learn principles and methods to accelerate market success.

Register your profile to receive notifications of the monthly MeetUps and other opportunities.

September’s offer:  Pitch your innovation at a SMIT MeetUp or participate in the upcoming Pitch Across Maryland contest and become eligible to receive a one-year SMIT-branded, Pro-Membership subscription to CoFoundersLab www.cofounderslab.com.

A CoFoundersLab Pro-Membership provides your innovation, technology or start-up company exposure to entrepreneurs and investors nation-wide enhancing your opportunity to find the right partner, investment or resource to take your idea to the market place.

They ask:  Please register to participate in the StartUp Maryland “Pitch Across Maryland” Contest, Sept. 24, 4 pm, at the Tides Restaurant, 46580 Expedition Dr., Lexington Park, MD.

SMIT and StartUp Maryland invite entrepreneurs and startup companies to Get On The Bus and “pitch” their ideas, products and businesses with a concise 2-3 minute message that will be professionally videotaped for entry into the contest.

StartUp Maryland will post the videos online to determine which pitches are the “Fan’s Favorites” and which suggest the “Strongest Potential for High Growth.” Eight semi-finalists will pitch to a state-wide audience at the Entrepreneur Expo this November with three finalists selected to enter the 2015 InvestMaryland Challenge to compete for over $400,000 in grants and business services. You can find more information about StartUp Maryland’s Pitch Across Maryland bus tour here.

The value proposition: No fees are required to participate in SMIT or to enter the StartUp Maryland Pitch Contest but we are looking for serious minded technologists, innovators, entrepreneurs and investors to participate. To be considered for a Pro-Membership and the Pitch Across Maryland contest, contact Laura Boonchaisri, Business Development Division Coordinator, St. Mary’s County Department of Economic Development at 301-475-4200, ext. 1408.
