TROY – A fine-tuned elevator pitch can open the door to funding and key partnerships for entrepreneurs. Perfecting that pitch takes practice and often some advice from experts and other experienced entrepreneurs. Watch up-and-coming entrepreneurs present their business plans, and then join in the discussion at the Entrepreneurial Initiative of Southeast Michigan Entrepreneur’s Forum.

EISEM is a series of programs that works to highlight regional entrepreneurs and their businesses and further develop their message to reach customers and investors. A cornerstone of EISEM, the Entrepreneur’s Forum features business plan presentations by emerging technology-driven companies. The short presentations are critiqued by attendees, including venture capitalists, angel investors and business professionals, who provide constructive criticism and guidance.

Presenting companies:

LogiCoul Solutions has developed a technology called Interfacial Process Stimulation, which improves the performance of different types of rechargeable batteries without having to modify the battery itself.

Inmatech has developed the next-generation supercapacitor that can be paired with different types of batteries in a Hybrid Energy System utilizing proprietary Hardware-in-the-Loop to improve power management.
