Wichita entrepreneurs gear up for bracket-style pitch contest with investors and industry leaders
NXTUS, alongside the Kansas Department of Commerce, is set to host a bracket-style pitch competition for startups this Friday.
Entrepreneurs will battle each other with pitch ideas Friday between game days of the NCAA Tournament in Wichita.
Startups will participate in "Gamechangers and Champions 2025," a bracket-style pitch competition organized by Wichita-based NXTUS and the Kansas Department of Commerce at the Commerce Club in downtown Wichita.
Sixteen of the 72 startups that applied were expected to be announced by NXTUS and the Department of Commerce on social media Monday afternoon. Nine of the 72 still in contention are from Wichita. NXTUS and Commerce will narrow it to eight by Friday.
