Jacoby Arts Center | Alton, IL

IdeaBounce® is an event for sharing ideas and making connections. This is an opportunity to pitch your idea (no matter how “half-baked”), get feedback on it, and make connections. Inventors, founders, startups and creatives from all across the region, and those interested in supporting them, are invited to attend.
As the Small Business Revolution continues to spread, please join Alton Main Street and the Skandalaris Center at Washington University for a fun, fast paced elevator pitch competition and networking event featuring the area's best and brightest!
Everyone will have two minutes to deliver an elevator pitch on their idea, and participants will then convene at a reception in the gallery to support the ideas in moving forward.
15 people will be chosen to present; to submit your idea for consideration all you need to do is visit www.ideabounce.com and click “Share Your Idea” to give a brief description. Then fill out this online form to register for the event by September 15th, and applicants will be informed whether they have been chosen as one of the presenters on September 17th. https://skandalaris.wustl.edu/event/2021/08/05/ideabounce-alton/
To see what others in our community are working on, visit www.ideabounce.com and browse the ideas or use the search function to focus on different sectors and keywords. If you think an idea is cool, give them a thumbs up! If you can help with the idea, click the message button and send a note to the poster.
To assist with advancing the ideas, $1,500 in prize money will be awarded by a panel of esteemed judges: Rhonda Breslin, Assistant Vice President at Busey Bank, Todd Kennedy, owner of EastGate Plaza in East Alton and serial entrepreneur, and Dr. Ken Trzaska, President of Lewis and Clark Community College. A people’s choice vote by the attendees will determine the winner of a complimentary month of private office accommodations donated by Alternative Office Space, a new state of the art co-working facility in East Alton.
The event is presented by Alton Main Street, with support from Washington University, Busey Bank, First Mid Bank & Trust, Lewis and Clark Community College, Simmons Hanly Conroy, the City of Alton, Great Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau, Riverbender.com, The Telegraph, AdVantage, and WBGZ Radio.
