Panel - Innovation Startups & The Investors Who Fund Them

We are celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week Nov 12-16th.
Free Pizza & Soft Drinks - cash bar beer & wine available.
Doors open at 5:30, panel begins at 6:30.

The Evansville Region is home to a growing number of exciting Innovation Based Startup Companies. A constant flow of new companies is vital for the future of our communities and region.

Innovation Based Startups typically can't qualify for bank or other traditional forms of lending, but instead must access Angel and Venture Capital.

Join us as we welcome our panel with five founders of local startups, representing the stages from early revenue to scaling, along with three investors representing Seed, Angel and Venture investors impacting regional companies.

Our founders will recount their journeys to launch and fund their companies. Our investors will explain how they impact our region and state by investing in our startups.

Our Panel will include:
Scott Massey, co-Founder - Helioponix
Aric Pryor, Founder - Quarion Technologies
Andy Perry, co-Founder - Curvo Labs
Pat Heck as both Angel Investor & co-Founder Motivating Systems
Paul Saunders, Founder - eLuxury
Eric Steele, Entrepreneur in Residence - Elevate Venture
John Hanak, Managing Director - Purdue Ventures
Aaron Gillum, Senior Vice President 50 South Capital - Next Level Indiana Fund
