Theme~The Elevator Pitch: Summarizing your pitch in 2 minutes or less

NEWS AND NOTES
CONGRATULATIONS TO PITCH DAY FINALISTS
Silicon Couloir’s 11th Annual Pitch Day featured five local entrepreneurs pitching their businesses to a panel of experienced judges and an audience of hundreds. Following months of coaching, refinement and practice the finalists nailed their presentations and provided succinct answers to tough questions from the panelists. It was our strongest and most well attended Pitch Day yet, with the reception back in full swing. All finalists made huge strides in their business models and presentations that will help guide their success. We are proud to announce the award winners of Pitch Day 2022.
Panelist Choice Award: Remo Health
Audience Choice Award: Naughty Fruit
Bob Arndt Community Caretaker Award: Avant Delivery
"One of the most difficult things to find throughout the process of building your company is people that will tell you the truth about your business —what you need to hear, “ states Matt LeKrey Co-Founder of Remo Health. "Remo would not have been fortunate to win the Panelist Choice Grand Prize without the Pitch Day process or feedback from the coaches along the way. We're incredibly grateful for the Silicon Couloir community and how programs like Pitch Day enable us to live out our entrepreneurial dreams in the beautiful place we get to call home."

PERFECTUS BIOMED AQUIRED BY NAMSA
Congratulations to Marnie Peterson and the Perfectus Biomed Team for their recent acquisition by NAMSA, a world-leading MedTech Contract Research Organization (CRO) offering global end-to-end development services.
"From a tiny Jackson startup 2016 to a UK merger 2020 to acquisition 2022! Couldn’t have done it without the support of Silicon Couloir and TEAMS," Marnie shared.
Marnie joined TEAMS in 2018 with her venture, which was called Extherid Biosciences at the time. Marnie has been developing a non-live animal approach to drug development and discovery for over 20 years and is a leader in this niche style of research. In June 2020, Marnie took an entrepreneurial leap and merged her company with Dr. Samantha Westgate, a UK-based scientist. Together, they are Perfectus Biomed Group, a global biosciences company based in Jackson, Wyoming and Daresbury, England. Marnie feels proud to reach people all around the globe thanks to the work their team is conducting in Wyoming while also creating more opportunities for science to stay in the Cowboy state.
