Join the Denver Metro SBDC for the second triannual Trout Tank sponsored by Colorado Lending Source, a free evening pitch event where Colorado entrepreneurs will pitch their businesses to a "School of 30" lenders and investors. We'll kick off the night at 5 p.m. with drinks and appetizers from Hospitality Sponsor Mission Yogurt. At 5:30 p.m. you'll hear five-minute presentations from the business owners, thanks to Pitch Sponsor FirstBank, followed by questions from the School of 30. Audience members will be able to actively participate by allocating a fake $1M and giving feedback to presenters through a mobile application created especially for the Trout Tank by Brainspire. At the end of the night, a crowd-sourced cash prize will be awarded to the winner with the most audience funding through the app.
