Media report on Scratchpad Accelerator Demo Day
WVII (Channel 7) and WABI (Channel 5) reported on Scratchpad Accelerator’s Demo Day where entrepreneurs gave investment-style pitches to an audience of supporters, strategic partners, the general public and potential investors. The four companies participated in the 12-week pilot program of the University of Maine in collaboration with the Maine Technology Institute. “It’s pretty exciting. They’ve really come such a long way in such a short period of time,” Jennifer Hooper, the communication director of Scratchpad Accelerator, told WVII. “Startup companies just need a lot of support. And in order for them to succeed and to grow fast, that’s what the accelerator has been all about.”
