Pressure Chamber returns for its 12th year as emerging companies pitch for the coveted "golden suitcase" and a reserved spot in the Chamber's exclusive Greater Madison startup meetings with top Silicon Valley investment firms this fall.
Participating companies will present in front of a panel of national investors and a live audience, with the winning company chosen based on a combination of judges' scoring and audience votes.
This event is a part of Forward Fest, Wisconsin's largest technology and entrepreneurship festival. Forward Fest 2025 is August 18 - 22. You can learn more HERE.
Are you a new and emerging company interested in participating? Apply HERE by July 9.
