Pressure Chamber 2021
Online registration is now closed for this event. Walk-ins will be welcomed at the door.
Pressure Chamber returns for its eighth year as emerging companies again compete for the coveted “golden suitcase,” as well as a reserved spot in the Chamber's exclusive Greater Madison startup meetings with top Silicon Valley investment firms this fall. Participating companies will pitch in front of a panel of out-of-state investors, business executives and a live audience, with the winning company chosen based on a combination of judges scoring and audience votes.
