Stem cell tag venture gives patients an opportunity to securely collect and store their own dental-derived adult stem cells
Adam Houtman, founder and CEO of Vault Stem Cell, will present at the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) and Venture Atlanta Business Launch Finale on May 5, 2014, for the chance to win $450,000 in cash and prizes. This event is designed to help a local technology-based start up company launch its business and ensure that it has the tools to be successful.
Vault Stem Cell was selected from 100 companies after Houtman spoke on the emerging field of individual dental-derived stem cellcollection and storage and the rapidly evolving state of adult stem cell therapies and treatments.
The final competition is open to the public and will begin at 4 p.m. on May 5 in the G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons on Georgia Tech’s Campus. Eight finalists will compete in a three-minute bracketed head-to-head competition. The audience will have the opportunity to impact the results of the competition by text voting their support. Registration is available online here. Four winners will then present 10-minute pitches followed by questions from a panel of judges. An overall winner will finally be announced.
This statewide program supports the creation and growth of new companies to aid in strengthening and expanding Georgia’s strategic high-tech clusters. In the next three to five years, projections show technology companies will invest more than $1 billion in Georgia. Information about the finalists and the 9th Annual Business Launch Competition is available online here.
