Event Description:

Online registration for this event is now closed. Walk-in registrations will be allowed. However, in fairness to all the participating companies, the doors will close and entry will be denied once the first company takes the stage at about 3:05 p.m.

Pressure Chamber returns for its 10th year as emerging companies pitch for the coveted “golden suitcase,” and a reserved spot in the Chamber's exclusive Greater Madison startup meetings with top Silicon Valley investment firms this fall.

Participating companies will present 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.
