Join us on September 16th from 2pm-5pm CST for the BETA Fall 2020 Showcase — a science fair for startups, where tech enthusiasts, reporters, investors, and the general public meet with founders from 20 of the top emerging companies in Minnesota.
Showcase allows founders to hone their pitch, build awareness, raise funding, find technical support, mentors, expert advice, customers, and keep a forward momentum during what has been an unpredictable year.
WHAT’S NEW & WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE FALL VIRTUAL SHOWCASE
Virtual Experience
For the second time, we are taking Showcase virtual using the online events platform Hopin. It will still be the event you know and love (just BYOB this time using our brewery partners below) featuring 14 tech startups currently in the BETA Fall Cohort and seven startups from across the state.
Learn more about the ins and outs of Hopin in our Fall Showcase Guide.
Decide which startup will win the Fall Showcase!
Every BETA Showcase, startups compete for pride and their company’s name on the coveted Golden iPod trophy. As a Showcase attendee, you determine the winning team by visiting the startup booths and using your vote to “invest” in your favorite startup(s).
To place your vote, enter the startup booth you would like to cast a vote for and click the big orange button that says VOTE — voting closes at 4:15 pm CST and the Showcase winner will be announced at 4:30 pm CST.
Support local breweries!
Great craft beverages are a big part of what makes BETA Showcase great. We’ve teamed up with the breweries below to get you some of the best beer/cider in Minnesota during this Fall’s BETA Showcase. Visit the Fall Showcase Emamo page for more information!
