Tallwave Announces "High Tide" Startup Competition to Commercialize Rapid-Growth Companies
Tallwave Partners With Local Investors and Corporate Sponsors to Launch Startup Competition for Innovative Companies
(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 10/31/12 -- , the Southwest's premier lean business accelerator and venture management firm, has partnered with high-profile local investors, top corporations and entrepreneurial ecosystem partners to launch "High Tide," a startup competition that will develop and commercialize new ventures in Arizona.
High Tide is the only startup competition in the Southwest, applying lean business and design validation principles to identify, develop and commercialize rapid-growth startups. High Tide connects the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem in Arizona to help startups with worthy ideas become viable, scalable, and sustainable growth companies.
"Arizona has the talent, ideas and entrepreneurs to become a leading hub for innovation, yet it lacks the engine to fully develop and scale those companies," said , Tallwave chairman and CEO. "High Tide brings validated companies to willing and motivated capital sources to produce sustainable companies. High Tide plays an important role in helping position Arizona as a leading commercialization engine for innovative entrepreneurs."
Twice per year, High Tide will select up to 20 companies to participate in its "Phase One: Validation" program to validate those ventures' viability. From there, up to six companies will advance to the "Phase Two: Acceleration" program to assess product-market fit and go-to-market commercialization. There is no cost to entrepreneurs selected to participate in the High Tide program.
High Tide will start recruiting its first cohort of companies in November 2012. Entrepreneurs, corporate sponsors and investors can learn more, or sign up to receive more information by visiting .
