FREELAND – The BlueWater Angels are hosting a Pitch Night on June 12 at Apple Mountain in Freeland to showcase two Michigan early-stage companies.

Pitch Night consists of 15-minute pitches by Michigan entrepreneurs / early stage companies (2-4) who are interested in getting in front of private investors to secure their next step to growth capital. The program is funded and administered by the BlueWater Angels Investment Network with support from the MidMichigan Innovation Center, Great Lakes Entrepreneurial Quest, the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center, and regional universities.

Pitch Night Presenting Companies include:

Amplifinity, Social marketing software company:

Thinking about starting a customer referral program? Customer referral programs are one of the most effective forms of marketing available. Your existing customers and your employees (your advocates) are the most powerful untapped resource you have for finding new customers. Amplifinity’s Advocacy Management Platform (AMP) provides an easy user interface where your advocates can register and make referrals.

Nowza,The Geolocated Store for Live Events (concerts, conferences, sports):

The Nowza app sells merchandise during a live event for any Performer (big or small) of any type (musician, comedian, stage play, author-speaker, sports team).

Buying merchandise at a live event (like concerts, conferences, sporting events) is a hassle for both Fan (must leave the event or remember to buy online later, stand in lines, and carry & protect merchandise) and Performer (must carry, manage, setup/teardown inventory, process credit cards, have change for cash sales).

The Nowza app automatically brings the Performer?s catalog of merchandise with them wherever they perform. At a performance, the Nowza app delivers offers to fans? smartphones for instant ?in the moment? purchases.
