witness a unique experience – the Colorado NextCycle Pitch Session. On October
8^th, five teams from the Colorado NextCycle program will pitch their
recycling end market ideas to compete for the opportunity to meet one-on-one
with two eminent leaders in sustainable investing: Closed Loop Partners and the
Colorado Impact Fund. The Colorado NextCycle program has provided the teams
with state, community, and recycling data, support and mentorship, and a
business plan boot camp. Each of the teams has developed an idea into a viable
recycling end market business plan to implement in Colorado, and on October 8^th they
will present their plans to an audience of investors, community leaders,
government officials, media, and a judging panel of industry experts. Then they
will face the panel of judges for a live question session. In the past, this
event was held in-person, but due to safety restrictions related to the
pandemic, the pitch session is going virtual – this means the audience could be
made up of people from around the world. The event is free, but space is
limited – so register now to be in the audience for this truly exciting event!</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p>
