Pepper Hamilton Clients Receive $300K Investments at IMPACT Capital Conference
On Wednesday, November 30, 2016, Pepper Hamilton co-sponsored the IMPACT Gala in Philadelphia, PA. As a premier signature event of PACT, the IMPACT Capital Conference has a long tradition of uniting key players from the private equity, venture capital, and entrepreneurial communities. As the oldest, most established venture conference in the Northeast, IMPACT draws more than 1,000 participants and has been the catalyst for billions of dollars in venture funding and entrepreneurial success.
Pepper has been a long supporter of this conference which allows startups and early stage companies to present to an audience in hopes of receiving investments. Out of the 45 presenting companies, Pepper Hamilton represents 10 companies. Three of those companies were invited to pitch their company directly to a panel of five investors during the conference's "Lion's Den." The Shark Tank-style pitch competition ended with two Pepper Hamilton represented companies each receiving a $300,000 investment.
