The ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses together with ACS National, the Northeastern Local Section, Chemical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council, BMGT, PID Analyzers, LLC and Nova Biomedical, present the 2014 ACS Entrepreneurial Resource Center Showcase East, a chemistry-based business pitch competition, featuring a cash prize for the winning pitch.

ENTREPRENEURS:

The application process is officially closed as of 11:59pm on January 27, 2014. The competitive review of candidates will commence this week. 

About the application process:

To qualify as one of twenty participating entrepreneurs (there are only 20 slots available), candidates have to be an ACS member who has an investor-ready early-stage chemical business. Candidates were required to fill out an investor readiness questionnaire, and if selected after the competitive review process, will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with one of our business plan coaches to help construct a winning pitch. 

Note that the business pitching contest will be closed to the public and will be by invitation only.
