Participation at PitchBR

Fundraising for All, WorkSpaceNow and Louisiana Multi-Functional Materials Group (LAMG) presented at PitchBR during a 10-minute pitch on September 5, 2019. LAMG, a proprietary polymer, earned the $1,000 prize at PitchBR’s third event of 2019.

"Competition included Fundraising for All, the brainchild of Sharon Walker McCall, owner of Resource & Fund Development, and which is in the design and development stage. McCall noted the shortage of nonprofit organizations in areas of Baton Rouge that are in great need of funding. These organizations, she pointed out, are not viable without funding. The final Fundraising for All service is intended to be subscription-based software designed to aid nonprofits in learning and applying the principles of fundraising and stewardship."

"Another competitor, WorkSpaceNow, seeks to tap into the gig and on-demand economy by pairing students and remote workers with available workspots in offices and coffee shops. The service was pitched by co-founders Lezlie Clerc Bertrand and Aaron Koenck. The subscription service is designed to meet a significant demand for coworking and study space that can’t be met by coffee shops alone, and to provide security for students and remote workers. Subscribers have the chance to reserve workspaces for up to two hours."

"The pitches were evaluated by Noah Boudreaux, executive vice president of data center sales and operations at EATEL Business, Stacia Haynie, executive vice president and provost at LSU, and Brett Mason, an attorney with event co-sponsor Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann."

"While the judges deliberated, a local high school student and graduate of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy presented his product, Reaction Relief. Charlie Roth says he invented the product in reaction to a running injury he sustained. Since traditional hot and cold packs were inaccessible on the track, Roth’s inability to alternate hot and cold relief appropriately prompted him to design the product. Each Reaction Relief pack offers a one-time use as alternately a hot and a cold pack (one on each side), allowing athletes to utilize the physician-suggested hot and cold injury relief, even when on the field. Roth fielded questions regarding his product, and discussed his production costs, target market and plans for continued research."

"PitchBR took place at Juban’s Creole Restaurant and was hosted by the Louisiana Tech Park."
