Winstead Sponsors Texas A&M New Ventures Competition

05.12.20

Winstead PC is proud to once again sponsor the Texas A&M New Ventures Competition (TNVC). Due to COVID-19, the event will take place entirely online this year May 13-14.

Aimed at promoting the commercialization of emerging technology to the marketplace, TNVC works with entrepreneurs in Texas to ensure that today’s innovative ideas become a reality. The competition recognizes engineering- and science-based technology companies with high-growth potential and provides seed funding to help them take their ideas to market. To date, TNVC has awarded $1.5 million in prizes and prior year’s semi-finalists have raised more than $195 million.

Winstead attorneys Robert Shaddox and Lekha Gopalakrishnan will be judges in the 2020 competition. 

This year’s competitors come from a wide spectrum of fields including healthcare (medical device and therapeutics/Rx), IT/sensors, energy and clean energy technology. Semifinalists undergo a rigorous screening, due diligence and a coaching process that identifies them as top prospects from a pool of nearly 100 applicants. The awards will allow the startups that receive them to create economic impact and job growth.

"We are thrilled to have Winstead as a longtime partner of TNVC,” said Chris Scotti, Chair of the Texas A&M New Ventures Competition. “Their financial support of the main prize pool helps us make the most impact to the winners, and Winstead is a great resource to the entrepreneurial commercialization ecosystem that we serve!"

Register for the event.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
