Pressure Chamber returns for its 11th year as emerging companies again compete for the coveted “golden suitcase,” as well as a reserved spot in the Chamber’s exclusive Greater Madison startup meetings with top Silicon Valley investment firms this fall.

Participating companies will pitch in front of a panel of out-of-state investors, business executives and a live audience, with the winning company chosen based on a combination of judges scoring and audience votes.

Event Details:

Chamber Members and Forward Fest pass holders: Free
Non-members: $20

NOTE: In fairness to all the participating companies, the doors will close and entry will be denied once the first company takes the stage.
