DFW Excellerator Continues to Impress

DALLAS - Jan. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Dallas, Texas – January 22, 2016

DFW Excellerator submitted three of their portfolio companies (RoboKind, WavCtacher, and HomeBlis) in to the 2016 TEEC Cup, a start-up competition based out of Santa Clara, California.

In December, over 600 companies entered and submitted their pitch deck and business plan to be reviewed by the event coordinators and a long list of venture capital firms based out of Silicon Valley sponsoring the event.

All three companies submitted by DFW Excellerator made it to the top 50, and would give their presentation in front of a panel of Silicon Valley venture capitalists in Santa Clara, California from January 14-17, 2016.

Two of our three companies, RoboKind and WavCatcher, were fortunate to make it to the top 20, and then both followed up by making the top 10.  From there, a winner had to be decided after a final round of panel questioning.

DFW Excellerator was proud to see RoboKind come out on top and take home the first place prize!  The company, which developed a humanoid educational robot with full facial expressionism, won the North American Startup Contest hosted by Tsinghua Entrepreneur & Executive Club Angel Fund known as TEEC and the US-China Association of High-level Professionals.

A big congratulation goes to RoboKind and their revolutionary business.  We are very proud of our portfolio companies for representing DFW Excellerator, themselves, and all of Dallas extremely well!  DFW Excellerator was grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a prestigious event and bring the first place hardware home to Dallas.

DFW Excellerator has been continuing to impress the entrepreneurial and innovative community by following up their recent accomplishment of being awarded the 2015 Innovation Catalyst Award given by the Dallas Regional Chamber at their annual Blueprint Awards.  The award identifies which company best contributes to the momentum of the regional economy.

On top of that, DFW Excellerator has also been awarded by the US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce for being recognized as one of the 2016 Regional Top 10 Asian American Businesses.  The award recognizes the fastest growing Asian American-owned companies, based on overall revenue growth over the past three years, as well as community involvement and overall business potential.  DFW Excellerator will be proudly receiving this award on January 30, 2016 at the Chamber’s annual banquet.

DFW Excellerator would like to thank everyone involved in their success, and urge the entrepreneur community to keep pushing forward towards new levels of success.
