When we convene at The Buffalo Lounge while the interactive part of the South By Southwest festival is going on in Austin, Texas, we’ll be closely watching a group of carefully selected Oklahoma entrepreneurs competing for up to $10,000 in prizes during the Interactive Elevator Pitch Competition.
On March 10 in the Buffalo Lounge, these entrepreneurs will have 90 seconds each to tell about their innovative companies. These smarty pants business folks were selected by a panel of investment professionals at i2E, Inc.
Take a look at the companies who will be pitching their awesomeness in Austin:
- Armore, Steve Cersonsky, Oklahoma City
- Baton, Justin Briggs, Oklahoma City
- Crunch Magic, Waylon Flinn, Norman
- Idefi Group, Brady Deaton, Tulsa
- InspireVive, LLC, Jared King, Bixby
- Service Chicken, John Burdin, Oklahoma City
- Siren, Ryan Phillips, Norman
- Sivi, Ashok Kamal, Oklahoma City
- The Two Guys Bow Tie Co., Tim Paslay, Broken Arrow
- Who Is On My Wi-Fi?, John Kerber, Oklahoma City
These interactive entrepreneurs are finalists in the competition for $10,000 in cash awards in front of a live audience and a panel of judges.
Did you know that SXSW helped launch or accelerate well known tech companies Twitter, Storify, Foursquare, Phonebooth Free, GroupMe and GameSalad? It’s true. Who knows? Maybe one or a few of these entrepreneurs from Oklahoma competing in the Elevator Pitch will be the next big thing in tech.
