PubTalk to feature four local businesses next week

Clark County PubTalk will hold its annual business pitch competition on Tuesday, November 27. The event will feature four local entrepreneurs, including three software companies and mobile app developers. Each entrepreneur will make a seven-minute pitch, followed by questions from the audience. The audience will then have an opportunity to invest play money in the company of their choice.

The participating companies are:

Dwellingo (Portland) – Real estate software

Knowledge Vault (Ridgefield) – Social network platform for business

Mobile Warrior LLC (Vancouver) – Mobile apps for transportation

Irrigation Accessories (Vancouver) – Irrigation solutions

Clark County PubTalk is co-hosted by the Columbia River Economic Development Council (CREDC) and Southwest Washington Workforce Development Council (SWWDC).

“This effort is part of CREDC’s new economic development strategic plan to foster the innovation eco-system in Southwest Washington,” noted Bonnie Moore, director of business growth and innovation for the CREDC and SWWDC. “This year, we were selective in choosing to work with more digital technology companies to support knowledge-based industry growth, which is a critical part of the new plan.”

Next week’s event takes place from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Fort Vancouver National Trust’s Artillery Barracks, 600 E. Hatheway Rd. Cost of attendance is $20 for those who register in advance or $30 at the door. For more information, visit the SWWDC’s event page.
