The MIT Enterprise Forum Pittsburgh is looking for the best pitchers in the league.  Do you have what it takes to be a Winning Pitcher?

The May 16 event will give you an opportunity to share your company’s elevator pitch with a panel of professional investors and entrepreneurs. The best pitchers will be given the opportunity to provide a longer presentation later that night.

The evening will begin with the initial pool of companies giving a 1 minute elevator pitch to the audience. After the companies have given their pitches, the audience will vote to determine which 3 companies have the opportunity to give a more complete 5 minute presentation of their business.

The panel will then judge the final 3 companies, awarding prizes for the entrepreneurs.

Prizes will be available for the finalists, including the guaranteed opportunity to participate in the MIT Enterprise Forum’s “Talk to the Angels” event in June. The membership requirement for the Angels event will be waived for the winning teams.  The top team will also be provided with a corporate membership for our 2013-14 season.

Syndicus to Lead Type 2 Diabetes Awareness Bike Ride from Annapolis to Pittsburgh

Syndicus

Syndicus

Over the last three years, Annapolis, Md.-based Syndicus, Inc. has provided support services to the Western New York (WNY) HEALTHeLINK Beacon project, an important initiative focused on Type 2 diabetes care management and improvement. Wanting to further raise awareness of the disease outside of the Beacon project, which will conclude later this year, Syndicus will lead and participate in an awareness bike ride in June.

According to the American Diabetes Association, Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes. Since 2002, more than 1 million new cases have been diagnosed each year in the United States, while about 5.7 million Americans are unaware they have the disease or are at high risk.  In total, more than 33 million Americans currently suffer from this chronic disease.

The 355-mile trek will be led by Pittsburgh-native, Annapolis resident and Syndicus CEO/President Michael McNees, and his son Matthew McNees, a Greensboro, N.C. resident and lifelong cyclist. It will begin at the Syndicus headquarters in Annapolis, Md., on June 11, traverse the C&O Canal and Great Allegheny Passage, and end in downtown Pittsburgh at Point State Park on June 15 – the same day the City celebrates the completion of the Great Allegheny Passage trail.
