Four of the startup teams are Media Center incubator projects, while two guest teams are outside projects who have been invited to pitch along side them. Each team prepared for their “Demo Day” presentations by
utilizing a training program offered by the Media Center, wherein teams are
paired with entrepreneurial mentors as well as an “Art of the Pitch”
expert for three months leading up to the presentation. Mentor pairs assist in
helping to develop optimal business strategies, market positioning, and brand
stories.

“Demo Day” presentations are offered to an invite-only
audience, but all Media Center members are encouraged to attend the
“Marketplace,” a trade show where participant teams will have the
opportunity to mingle with potential collaborators and investors.

Check out the list of companies and projects being pitched
below, and go to their website for a full list of “Demo Day” events. Project descriptions are taken
from the official press release.
