New Cleveland Accelerator hosts first Demo Day

Screen Shot 2013-09-19 at 2.09.56 PMNext Monday, September 23rd, VFA Founder Andrew Yang will head to Cleveland for the first ever Demo Day for Cleveland accelerator FlashStarts. With Cleveland as one of our newest cities, VFA is excited to be involved in this exciting day, where FlashStarts will present 10 new startups.
Companies include everything from The BranDR, a company that does online marketing for Doctors by allowing them to create personal branded profiles, to Ohio Independent Cinema, which is trying to make independent films more accessible for the general public in Ohio.
The event will be held on the day a new SEC regulation goes into effect that will allow startups to solicit from a national audience in source of funding. If you’re interested in seeing the Demo Day, FlashStarts will broadcast it live here.
Congratulations to FlashStarts leaders Charles Stack and Jennifer Neundorfer, along with it’s inaugural 10 companies, on a successful first program!
