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, Oct. 20th, starting at 5pm, at Awesome Inc. There will be food and drinks provided. The cost is $10. Please RSVP at http://5acrossmeeting5.eventbrite.com. This month’s event will feature the following pitches:
  • David Slone will be presenting Restaurant Outlets, which is a location based website which distributes restaurant coupons and special deals via Push notifications to iPhone’s.
  • Gip Gibson will be presenting Local Groupon.
  • Nathan McConathy will be presenting Wedding Caption, which is a wedding photography iPhone App.
  • Andre' Henderson will be presenting Parlay. Parlay will be an application that works directly through video game consoles to allow gamers competing online, against each other, to bet money on their contests. Parlay will sync with Xbox Live and Playstation Network to correlate player vs. player betting.
  • Tuan Ho will be presenting Webatures, which is a roadtrip tracking website.

Be sure to come out, enjoy the food and drinks, socialize with investors, entrepreneurs and other like-minded people, and hear these entrepreneurs pitch their exciting new business ideas.
