Verge Pitch Night at SpeakEasy

Are you ready for the August Pitch Night?

Our Verge team already has our playlist picked out for the big night. Be among the 175 members joining us next Thursday, August 30, at 5:30 PM. The Speak Easy will be prepped for Indy's most ambitious software and web entrepreneurs, developers, and investors to connect and share their startup lessons learned.

Come hungry because Upland and Marco's will have the table set with plenty of hot pizza and the bar open with chilled beer on tap.

Our pitches are coming in hot:

Book A Coach (http://bookacoach.com), a marketplace where athletes and parents can connect with verified safe, qualified coaches in your community. Wahooly (http://www.fastcompany.com/1836003/wahooly-leverages-your-social-rep-piece-next-instagram), a growth platform for startups that is part Kickstarter, part Y Combinator. Powder Keg, a Verge project we've kept mostly under the radar—until now. Dana Severson (http://techhustlers.com/dana-severson-wahooly/), CEO of Wahooly is coming in from the Twin Cities to join us as our fireside chat presenter. We had an hour-long Skype chat a few weeks ago and I'm sorry I had to cut it short. Dana not only leads a fast-growing startup, but also writes for Fast Company and Ad Age. I'm psyched to present this lineup to for everyone and I cannot wait to share the momentum the Verge team has been building behind the scenes. Bring the energy.

If you can't make it in, don't sweat. We'll have a live stream available. But I hope you'll be one of the folks there.

See you soon,

Matt
