The Manchester Young Professionals Network has announced their 2015 Startup Challenge Finalists: BevNow, ChartaCloud Technologies, TestNotice, and VidFall. Following the "Live Pitch" event last month where semi-finalists made their best pitch to the judges and audience, four finalists were chosen.
Next the four finalists will pitch their businesses to a panel of judges made up of professionals from the business, startup and nonprofit sectors, after which the ultimate winner will be chosen. Attendees can watch the 2015 Startup Challenge Final Event on June 17 to see who will be walking away with a prize package of cash and in-kind services worth up to $55,000.
Attendees will also vote for their favorite finalist and grant them the People's Choice Award. The winner of the 2015 People's Choice Award, sponsored by People's United Bank, will receive $3,500 cash.
