We know you go to a lot of events, and get invited to even more. You’re a busy person! We get it…

But here are 3 reasons why you simply can’t miss reSET’s 2017 Venture Showcase on Wednesday, May17th at the Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford.

1. Live startup pitches

There’s nothing quite like watching talented entrepreneurs pitch amazing new business concepts! It’s exciting and inspiring to watch people take massive risks in pursuit of an innovative and impactful vision. No wonder ABC’s Shark Tank is so popular! Well, this is your opportunity to watch seven of the top startups in the area, who have just emerged from an intense four months in reSET’s nationally recognized Accelerator program, pitch their incredible ideas live.

1. The stakes are high

The stakes are high when money is on the line… This year, reSET along with its amazing partners, will be awarding $30K in unrestricted funding to the top businesses. Our live panel of V.I.P. judges will select the winning businesses and award the prize money before the night’s end.

1. More than just a networking opportunity

There are no shortage of networking opportunities throughout the state. But few feature an opportunity to rub shoulders with the “who’s who” in the startup scene. Over a cash bar and a delicious spread of hors d’oeuvres, meet founders, investors, corporate stakeholders, and local policymakers.

Of course at this point, you are asking yourself how you can register… Not to worry! Click here to reserve your seat as space will be limited. The event will run from 5:30-7:30pm.
