8th Annual Pitch Party 9/10/2009 – Recap

The Pitch Party was a lot of fun!  This year we had a lot of interest from investors including Gary Hoover (Hoover’s) and Jamie Rhodes (Central Texas Angel Network).

Thanks to Sonia M. Honne-Gonzalez and Esther Osborn and the rest of Plus Program Office staff for their help with all of the party logistics.  Also, thanks to HomeAway for their generous sponsorship of the event.

** Anyone can sign up for this so come up with an business idea (real or not, product or service) and sell it to the mock investors!! Top three folks with the most fake money at the end of the night walk away with some cool cash! Look for it in the Fall 2010.

Congratulations to the winners of the Pitch Party!

#2 Prize ($750)                    Jeff Harbach

#3 Prize ($500)                    Kathleen Voboril
