The StartUp Expo
SUP-X™ is focused on the entrepreneur and The StartUp Expo is the centerpiece of SUP-X™. The StartUp Expo is both a competition and a physical and virtual opportunity for startup and early-stage entrepreneurs to exhibit to and meet the 1500+ investors and others in attendance.
We expect 250-500 startup and early-stage companies to be accepted as applicants to the StartUp Expo and each will each receive a $50 discount off the general admission price. Business plan information for accepted applicants will be available on-line via the Investor Portal to those registering as Investors.
The Top 50 applicants will comprise the semifinalist pool and these ventures will be given the opportunity to exhibit for free alongside corporate exhibitors and sponsors in the event’s nearly 50,000 square feet of exhibit space.
Immediately prior to the closing reception approximately 5-10 startup and early-stage finalists will pitch to a panel of investors and experts before all attendees with the winners receiving a portion of the $50,000 in cash and prizes.
