What is PACTcapcon like for Featured Companies? 
Out of over 100 submissions, around 45 Entrepreneurial Companies are chosen to pitch their innovations live in front of investors, professional advisors and key decision makers at the Capital Conference. During pitching hours, featured companies receive direct feedback with hopes to take home funding, gain experience and make lasting business connections. At the end of the day, three companies are selected to enter the Lion’s Den for a shot at on-site commitments from highly successful entrepreneurs turned investors. Last year, three companies entered the Lion’s Den, which concluded with over $550K dollars in funding. 

2019 Featured Companies

Lion’s Den Returns September 2020!
The PACT Capital Conference 2020 will feature the return of its interactive Company Presentation format that provides featured companies with “Direct Impact” feedback from selected venture investors. Based on this feedback, selected featured company presenters will also be considered for entrance into the Lion’s Den!

What is the Lion’s Den?
An interactive panel of highly successful entrepreneurs presented with investment opportunities from Featured Companies. They will choose up to four companies to enter the Lion’s Den for the final round. The Lions will make investment commitments LIVE in front of the audience for select finalists.

How Can You Be Considered for the Lion’s Den? (Optional)
The information gathered by our panel of investors during the “Direct Impact” featured company presentations on September 24 will be used to select the finalists to enter the Lion’s Den.
Consideration for the Lion’s Den is optional. Featured company applicants interested in being considered expressed their interest during the application process.
