Two lucky startup founders will join Startup America CEO Scott Case this weekend for the Kentucky Derby
The Startup America partnership recently held a video pitch challenge contest where member company founders could pitch for their chance to win a trip to the world famous Kentucky Derby. The derby is this weekend in Louisville Kentucky and kicks off the coveted Triple Crown of horse racing.
Once in Kentucky the two winners will enjoy spending time with the startup world’s most traveled man, Startup America CEO Scott Case. Ralph Acosta the founder of LA based SkuRun and Andrew Sell, the founder of Ocean NJ based HipCycle were chosen as the winners.
SkuRun delivers sales and marketing content to road warriors in real time. HipCycle offers upcycled home furnishings.
The tickets to the derby were provided by Nucleus: Kentucky’s Life Science and Innovation Center.
In addition to spending time with Scott Case, who was the founding CTO of Priceline.com, they will also spend some time with the Mayor of Louisville, Greg Fischer. The two winners will also participate in mentoring time with leading entrepreneurs.
The Startup America Partnership is an initiative of the Obama administration. They just recently added their 20th region. Startup Kentucky is just two weeks old. The most recent launch was Startup Indiana, last week.
