Congrats to the LivePitch winners

Congrats to today’s LivePitch audience favorite, Chaperon, and to the investor panel favorite Livengood Engineering. Each company received $500 cash and $500 in legal services from HRO. Thanks also to Silicon Valley Bank for sponsoring the event, as well as to the other companies who also did a great job presenting – Kerpoof.com, Magic Home Entertainment, and Torii Medical.

The guys from FundingUniverse.com did a great job of putting this event together in only about 10 days. We had about 50 people in the audience, and each person got $100 in “funny money” to distribute to their favorite companies after the pitches. This was kind of a neat way to go, because it got the audience talking up close and personal with the entrepreneurs.

In the end, it was a good networking event and seemed to live up to the spirit of EntrepreneurshipWeek USA. Hopefully FundingUniverse.com will come back to Colorado in the near future and hold another event, maybe with a bit more time to plan for it.

Thanks also to everyone who came out to check this out. I hope the networking and the experience was worthwhile.
