Come check out IGNITE! at RocketSpace on March 13

By Brett Laffel

IGNITE! kicks off on Tuesday, March 13 at 5 PM at RocketSpace, 181 Fremont Street in San Francisco.

IGNITE! is a new monthly series of pitch events for early-stage startups looking to generate interest and investment from VC’s and Angels.

Here's how it works:

Ten companies are chosen each month to participate in IGNITE! Presenting companies will each have a demo table to have the opportunity to meet and network with angles, VCs and guests during the first hour. Attendees will then vote for their favorite company, and the top four will get to present to a distinguished panel of VCs and Angels. The panel then chooses who they feel is the most promising startup.

The winner gets a pitch meeting with our Sponsoring Venture Capital firm, Hummer Winblad.

Following the pitches, Mitchell Kertzman, Managing Director of Hummer Winblad, will be interviewed by Eric Ferraro, a startup attorney at LeClairRyan and a former startup CEO himself.
