For those of you who haven’t heard of 5 Across, here’s the scoop. 5 Across is an informal gathering of entrepreneurs, investors and service providers from Lexington, KY. Each 5 Across meeting features presentations from local entrepreneurs who pitch their ideas to a panel of judges. There are 5 pitches, 5 slides per pitch, 5 minutes per pitch, a 5pm start time, and a $500 prize to the winning pitch. The panel of judges will decide the final winner but the audience will be able to participate by submitting their votes through their mobile device.

The next event will be on Wednesday, August 18th, starting at 5pm, at Awesome Inc. There will be food and drinks provided. The cost is $10. Please RSVP at http://5acrossmeeting4.eventbrite.com. This month’s event will feature the following pitches:

  • James L. D’Amico - “Motionpoint Technology”, provider of deep meta tagging for video from a web-based player.
  • Randy Lynn - “Starborn Solutions”, a best-practices and operational model for home health agencies enabled through management, consulting, support, intellectual property, proprietary business practices, process/workflow and technology.
