AOL-founder Steve Case is making a trip to Buffalo on September 30, as part of the “Rise of the Rest” startup bus tour. Case is coming to Buffalo to tour the local start-up scene, and talk about the importance of start-ups in all American cities, not just the ones that typically host the majority of start-ups.
The investor will also be doling out $100K, as part of a pitch competition that can be entered by clicking here. Entrepreneurs must apply by September 13, 2015, which is the deadline.
The Buffalo bus tour will culminate in a pitch competition that will be held at RiverWorks starting at 4pm on that day. The competition will be followed by a Startup Celebration at RiverWorks, starting at 6pm. The community is invited to take part in both events.
