RedOwl Wins Phorum 2016 Demo Pit

You know when you are in trouble, when your accountant actually calls YOU. Your accountant has no need to sell his services. You are already on his books, so to say. Unless he is that worst breed of "business accountants' who believes his job is networking and selling you "development" services that you neither need nor have ever asked for - then a call from the lady that does your Books - is going to be bad news. Accountants don't call to enquire after your health. It is not in their nature. Life is either black, or white, or black or red.

What's your story?

If you would like to write the cover story for upcoming editions of PACT Times, please contact Amanda Nardi by February 15th.

Proudly announcing "Blogging @ PACT"! PACT members lend their voices and insights to our newest marketing initiative. By serving as a go-to resource for members and prospects, we are establishing a regular cadence of member-written content, outside of PACT Times.

What does this mean for you? We invite our member entrepreneurs to submit "Corner Office" posts that highlight what makes them stand out. Each cover story in PACT Times will also be featured in "Blogging @ PACT". Periodically, we will share progress and news made on the PACT end.

Join PACT on International Women's Day, March 8th, for our annual Foundation Breakfast, as we gather to celebrate and support women-led enterprises and diversity in Philadelphia's innovation community. This year's event will have extended networking opportunities, as well as an interactive program featuring lightning talks from leading female innovators.

Among the women sharing their stories of connection, engagement, and growth in the innovation community will be:

Lucinda Duncalfe, President & CEO, Monetate
Bethany Edwards, Co-Founder, LIA Diagnostics
Lisa Skeete Tatum, Co-Founder and CEO, Landit

The PACT Foundation works to provide financial support to STEM-based initiatives and to women entrepreneurs in high-growth technology and life science companies in partnership with AWE (Alliance for Women Entrepreneurs) Ventures - Powered by Ben Franklin Technology Partners. Portions of the proceeds will go directly to AWE Ventures.

Congratulations to the finalists of the 2017 Enterprise Awards and thank you to all who were nominated and applied. Our region is blossoming with an impressive amount of talent rich in innovation and ambition to succeed.

We saw tremendous competition for each award. An independent panel of judges selected 27 - quite an honor and testament to the extraordinary work of our nominated companies. The audience will be filled with investors, peers from the technology and healthcare industries and a variety of our region's business leaders.

**The deadline to reserve your commemorative Tribute Journal message is Tuesday, April 11, 2017.**

What song is set as your wake up call and gets you motivated? The PACT Team assembled a playlist of personal favorites to get you up and start your year off right.
