November Verge at Launch Fishers

Hot off the heels of all the Powder Keg (http://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2012/11/05/3-insights-from-the-best-startup-event-youve-never-heard-of/) excitement, we're coming back at you with fresh pitches and a fascinating fireside chat. And we're brining in our Startup Bowl winner (http://www.indystar.com/article/20121019/BUSINESS06/210190360/Purdue-duo-s-app-wins-Startup-Bowl) to be our first pitch!

It's going down next week (Thursday, November 15 at 6:00 PM, to be exact). And we're breaking in a new Verge venue, Launch Fishers, the cool new co-working space just north of the city on I-69.

Here's what to expect:

The same, engaged Verge group of software entrepreneurs, developers, and investors. 2 startup pitches (5 min each) and a fireside chat, all followed by rapid-fire Q&A from our audience. Hot pizza and ice-cold local brews from Upland. Less than 30 minutes of on-stage programming, and plenty of time to connect, share, and learn. We usually run out of space on these kinds of events, so we'll be live-streaming for those who can't make it. But if you have space on your calendar, definitely come check out the new Launch Fishers (http://launchfishers.com/). You'll dig it.

Plus, you'll get to talk with these killer presenters:

Found Ops (http://www.foundops.com/), a software platform that helps small business owners easily run field service companies. Cause It (http://cause.it/), a platform for businesses and nonprofits go places, do good, and get rewards. Angel Morales (http://www.linkedin.com/in/etailer) with Smarter Remarketer (http://www.smarterremarketer.com/), who just won a 40 under 40 award (http://indylatino.com/2012/11/06/direct-marketing-40-under-40-angel-morales/) in his industry. He has a heck of a founder story to share, so I'm looking forward to our conversation. UPDATE: We just added some special sauce to the Verge pitch night spread at Launch Fishers:

Compete in the video game lounge with the new Awesome Controller, which is currently raising money on Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1604893288/awesome-controller) Learn the story behind the new Indy Made (http://indymade.com/), presented by two of the creators, and how you can get involved Jam to live background music (for the first time at Verge pitch night) from two up-and-coming blues musicians Stay warm and check your coat at the coat check provided by recent Verge presenter, Coat Chex (https://www.meetup.com/vergestartups/events/90510122/). Use the same system that was recently pitched on the hit TV show, Shark Tank Join?
