Congratulations to the IDEApitch 2024 companies! Four of the region's most promising startups presented their companies live on stage last week, during #NOEW2024 and 3rd Coast Venture Summit. The founders each had 7 minutes to present their companies in a pitch format to a live audience and panel of esteemed business leaders and investors. These companies are all VILLAGEx alumni and were selected based on their potential to emerge as leaders in the region for breakout success! VILLAGEx is our industry-leading, mentor-driven accelerator program for venture-scale startups on the path to raise at least $1M in the next 24 months. The Presenting Companies: ➡️Falaya ➡️Hilight ➡️OS BENEFiTS ➡️3D Media
