B2B platforms and how the business was shaped by the pandemic

At the  Launch Clinic, 2 startups will present a 20-minute pitch for feedback from our panel of experts + the audience.

Launch Clinics are a great place for startups to get constructive feedback on their pitch from a board-of-directors-level panel of experts and thoughtful audience members. The focus on early stage ventures encourages a sympathetic and supportive atmosphere. Audience and panel feedback often helps presenters understand their problems and offers useful tips and solutions.

Even if you’re not quite ready to present, we encourage entrepreneurs to attend the clinics to see what our panel of experts (investors and others) are looking for in a pitch, what kind of questions they ask and their suggestions for refining the business plan.

Presenters

OmPractice is a platform for virtual yoga and wellness classes for people and organizations.  It removes the time, financial, geographic and inclusivity barriers to a life-changing practice.  It is used by thousands of people, dozens of companies which are trying to make “remote wellness” real and even the US Government.  Their 2-way live streaming yoga class is a game changer in the Covid environment.
Presenter:  Chris Lucas, Co-Founder and CEO

Pakira converts the $20T market of physical commodity trading (logging, agriculture, mining, etc.) from transactions-by-phone to an online marketplace of buyers and sellers, and builds predictive AI models from real-time trading data.  We transform these static complex B2B supply chains to dynamically reconfigurable paths from production to retail, which prevents massive food waste, exposes illegal logging & mining, & avoids shortages of critical supplies as we have been experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
