Best of the fest
   
Today, we announced the finalists competing in this year’s Pressure Chamber, which returns to the Majestic Theatre on Aug. 16 during Forward Fest!
Our largest number of Pressure Chamber applicants to date yielded five impressive companies that represent a bright future for Greater Madison’s startup ecosystem. We are excited to welcome this exceptional group of companies to the region’s apex live pitch contest and ultimately help them connect with potential investors and customers:
-- Benny (Madison)
-- Fleet Cycles (Monona)
-- TRACE (Madison)
-- Voximetry (Madison)
-- Yips Yogurt Chips (Madison)
Our five finalist companies are readying their pitches for this event (presented by Michael Best & Friedrich), where they will work to earn your vote. You and our all-star panel of out-of-state investor judges will combine to choose the winner, who receives a reserved spot in the Chamber's exclusive Greater Madison startup meetings with top Silicon Valley investment firms this fall.
Sign up now for this free-for-members event, which also includes a happy hour and networking sponsored by Fetch Rewards.

In all, Chamber members and their employees topped the annual readers’ poll in 50 categories, including Brewery, Steakhouse, Museum, Domestic Auto Dealer, Grocery Store, Hotel, Real Estate Company and more.
