CereScan was recently recognized as one of the most promising companies at the 2016 Angel Capital Summit in Denver. The Rockies Venture Club’s annual conference attracted more than 300 investors and entrepreneurs and 23 presenting companies.
As part of the summit, attendees were each given $100,000 in “Venture Bucks” to invest in the presenting companies of their choosing. CereScan received the third highest amount of Venture Bucks with $1.5 million, falling closely behind mTusker with $1.56 million and Unboundly with $1.7 million.
“It is an honor to receive this recognition from prominent members of the Colorado business community and to be included among companies at the forefront of innovation,” said Rick Fort, PhD, Chief Science Officer at CereScan, who presented at the summit. “This vote of confidence is a testament to the incredible momentum CereScan has achieved and fuels our passion to continue to provide the best in brain diagnostics.”
The Angel Capital Summit brings together early-stage companies and the investors who may potentially support them. More than 80 startups applied to pitch at the two-day event and only 23 were selected.
Each company was given ten minutes to present. The pitches were interactive with audience feedback on the quality of the deal, the management team, market opportunity and the pitch itself. Company representatives receive feedback to let them know their strengths and areas for development.
“We are thrilled to be featured at the 2016 Angel Capital Summit and to highlight the role our brain imaging and database can play in value-based medicine,” said John Kelley, CEO and Chairman of CereScan. “Our data analytics will provide practitioners with real-time brain image analysis and quantitative measurements to assist in the diagnosis and care of sophisticated brain disorders.”
