Purdue Innovates Ventures organized a startup showcase event to promote Purdue-connected founders, CEOs and their companies around the country to an audience of Purdue alumni, investors and innovation leaders. Ventures invests in venture-scale startups that can benefit from the strengths of Purdue University and its relationships around the world.
Participating company leaders with Purdue University ties pitched their early-stage companies during the Innovation Showcase at the Purdue Entrepreneurial Alumni Reunion, Nov. 9-11. All seven companies have a Purdue University alumnus in a founder or CEO capacity.
Adipo Therapeutics and MagLev Aero were invited back to the stage the following morning at the Power Pitch Breakfast. The event kicked off with welcome remarks from Jim Bullard, the Dr. Samuel R. Allen Dean of the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business and Distinguished Professor of Service. Following the remarks, representatives from the companies pitched their startup and answered questions from a panel of expert investor judges, including Ben Marcus, Chris Somogyi and Danielle Salters.
