PITCH DAY 2022
CoBuilders, Mississippi’s first statewide startup accelerator, brought together resources from across the State to provide support for the best startup ideas to launch and grow. Through a series of pitch events hosted by regional partners, 21 startups were identified and invited to participate in the first cohort, a 12-week intensive program designed to escalate their growth and opportunity for success. The companies were provided funding and a process to all work toward the goal of being “Investor-Ready” and those that qualified presented at “Pitch Day”,where they pitched to angel investors from around the state and region. Investors and others who want to see these emerging startups attended.
