Sights and Sounds of #InnoShow15

Sights and Sounds of #InnoShow15

The seventh annual Innovation Showcase took place last week at the Dallara IndyCar Factory. Over 70 companies were given 60 seconds each to pitch to potential investors. At the end of the day it was Pi Lab and their product Edwin the Duck that took home the grand prize of over $70,000 in cash and prizes!

Couldn’t make it to the event? No worries! Brian Brosmer of Brosmer Photographic captured all the action. Check out some of our favorite shots below.

This first photo was taken high above the crowd that consisted of more than 900 attendees. If you want to meet with the best and brightest from Indiana’s tech scene be sure to add the Innovation Showcase to your 2016 destinations.

Bailey Paxton is co-founder of Paxton Medical. He also happens to be a former intern with us at Launch Fishers. This year Bailey became the first high school student to ever pitch at the Innovation Showcase. And, to add to his success, he made it to the final round of the pitch competition!
