2023 CoBuilders began with 78 applicants participating in our statewide partner regional pitch events. Nine companies were then selected to form the 2023 Cohort. Once selected to the CoBuilders cohort, the nine companies received a modest investment, were paired with two mentors, and engaged in an intensive 12-week curriculum. Seven statewide partners supported them throughout this period and provided coaching and mentorship as part of the curriculum, culminating in the "Final Pitch Day" showcase. During Pitch Day, hosted by Innovation Analyst April Dixon, these nine companies took center stage, pitching to an audience of partners and investors. Each company presented a 10-minute pitch, followed by a Q&A session, showcasing their ideas, innovations, and growth potential.
