The second workshop on the agenda, titled “Power Pivot Workshop,” will help firms uncover the core value of their business plan as they prepare to pitch to a panel of leading, early stage investors.

Following a keynote speech from Mayor Booker of Newark, NJ and brief comments by investors, a number of selected startups will provide speed pitches for the judges at the event. The event will conclude with selection of a top contender by the investor panel.
