CNM Ingenuity is hosting its popular Ski Lift Pitch at Taos Ski Valley on Thursday, February 24, 2022. Startups have already been selected to pitch, but entrepreneurs can learn what venture capitalists look for in a fundable start-up by attending the event. You don’t have to ski to participate, but why not have some fun while you learn?
Event organizers, who say that New Mexico is known more for its elevations than its elevators, are taking the elevator pitch to the mountain to connect the state’s best startups with world-class venture funds. Around ten ambitious New Mexico startups have been selected to pitch to fund managers while riding the chairlift to the top of the mountain. Participating presenters were selected based on their early customer validation and traction for a disruptive value proposition; high-growth potential and scalability; and eagerness to partner with venture investors to scale their business.
Awards and networking take place at the mountain’s base providing the opportunity for non-skiers to hear firsthand what a venture fund manager looks for in a startup.
Spend a day on the slopes — or in the lodge — with some of New Mexico’s most promising startups.
