NEWS AND NOTES
ANNOUNCING PITCH DAY FINALISTS
Silicon Couloir’s 13th Annual Pitch Day, our signature event of the year, will be held on Wednesday, October 9th from 5:00 to 7:30 PM MT at the Center for the Arts in Jackson, WY, with a reception to follow the main event.
Pitch Day features local entrepreneurs showcasing their innovative and creative businesses to a panel of esteemed judges and a live audience. Cash prizes will be awarded in three categories. Pitch Day is an intensive program that provides expert coaching to participants and is a celebration of the highly successful entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Teton region fostered by Silicon Couloir. Pitch Day is open to the public and free to attend. A livestream will be available for those who can’t attend in person.
Selected entrepreneurs will have five coaching sessions with a team of successful and experienced business experts leading up to the public event. A critical and high-value feature of the program, coaching helps entrepreneurs hone their delivery and synthesize their concept, financials, and presentation.
Selection for our four finalists was extremely competitive this year. We thank the many high quality companies and their founding entrepreneurs who applied, and are pleased to announce our 2024 finalists.

VISIONARY VENTURES:
‘CAN-DO’ WYOMING REFLECTS STATE OF THE NATION
"In the 24/7 news cycle that incessantly warns of political and economic Armageddon, it helps to step back and take stock of what’s right with America. And in that light, what makes the U.S. economy so dynamic is evident right here in Wyoming in general and Teton County in particular," states Joseph Quinlan, Chief Market Strategist for Bank of America. Read Quinlan's insights into the strength and resilience of the US economy in our most recent Visionary Ventures column.
