Beemok Capital's second annual Catalyst pitch competition has named nine professional finalists and three student finalists, with winners eligible for up to $2 million in investment. The pitch event is Nov. 12 at 196 Concord St. in Charleston, open to anyone for $25 including lunch, with proceeds going to Meeting Street Schools.
Why this matters here
Local capital at this size is rare in Charleston, and this is an open door into a room with Beemok co-founder Ben Navarro, SC Launch and the CEO of Gnosis Freight on the judging panel. Even if you are not pitching, $25 is cheap access to the people funding the Lowcountry's next wave of companies.
