Applications to Pitch at the 2020 SICC Are Now Open!

The 2020 Startup Investment & Community Capital Expo (SICC) is pleased to announce that the applications to pitch to investor panels are now open for startup companies who are ready for investment and growth. We would really appreciate your help letting folks in your network know that applications to pitch are being accepted now. Space is limited; applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all spaces are filled.

The SICC is the region’s premier startup investment conference. This year’s theme combines the two major social concerns of the day: inclusivity and recovery. The changes wrought by the COVID-19 emergency provide the opportunity to re-examine our entrepreneurial system and for a reinvention of businesses and of the funding process around inclusion.

 

This year's event will be hosted online as a multi-day event from September 28-30, 2020. This event presents a unique opportunity to pitch to and network with angel and venture capital investors, impact investors, community capital investors, regional banks, and sources of alternative financing. The SICC welcomes scalable ventures looking for seed financing through Series A financing, as well as smaller businesses looking for alternative financing options.
