Of the twelve companies that pitch, TheFunded will choose four seed-stage startups to present, and eight other companies will earn a spot on stage by vote of the 14,000 Members on the Showcase section of TheFunded. Every Member is encouraged to take five minutes, review some of the pitches and vote for the ones that you support:

Any company that is less than two years old and has raised less than $250,000 is invited to create a Showcase profile and secure enough peer votes to make it on stage.
