Unreasonable Institute Investor Pitch Event is July 18 (Discount Available)

July 11, 2011 by Staff

Unreasonable Institute

On July 18, the Unreasonable Institute, a Boulder, Colorado-based startup accelerator, will be bringing 26 entrepreneurs (from 17 countries) to San Francisco for a Pitch Day (and Night).  The Unreasonable Institute takes its name from a George Bernard Shaw quotation that states that "all progress depends on the Unreasonable man [andwoman]."

The presenting entrepreneurs include:

  • An MIT researcher from India with an anemia detection device recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the 7 most innovative emerging healthcare technologies.
  • An entrepreneur who is helping build the recycling infrastructure in Mexico and who has generated $1 million in revenue in the past 18 months.

You can view the complete list of presenting entrepreneurs here.  Thanks to our friends at the Unreasonable Institute, readers of Green VC can obtain a 30% discount on registration to attend the Pitch program.  To obtain this discount use code "secretdiscount" (without the quotes) when registering online.
