Flatley Seeking Tech Startups & Emerging Businesses for the 7th Annual Flatley Challenge Startup Competition – DEADLINE October 31st
Do you own a new or growing tech company in New Hampshire?
How would you like the chance to win $10,000 and 1 year of free office or lab space?
Started in 2011, the Flatley Challenge was created “to assist startups and emerging businesses in the fields of IT, communications, data storage, connectivity, robotics, clean tech, medical devices, digital health, mobile app design, life sciences, and other leading-edge technologies.”
Now in the seventh year, the Flatley Challenge has already awarded $120,000 to New Hampshire and Massachusetts startups and is currently accepting applications for this year’s competitors.
Recent winners include familiar names such as Vybe Software, who also won this year’s Alpha Loft Startup Shindig, D&P Bioinnovations, and EDACS.
And if you’re wondering how some of the earliest Flatley winners have fared, Laurie Riedel, vice president of 2011 winner Plexxi says “Since winning the inaugural Flatley Challenge in 2011, Plexxi has experienced immense growth and success. We started out with 10 employees and today we have more than 90.”
Remember, business competitions aren’t just about winning a prize. They’re an opportunity to hone your message and get your business in front of potential customers, partners, and investors.
The deadline for this year’s Flatley Challenge is Wednesday, October 31st.
