Join Brighthouse Networks and the Florida NEXT Foundation as we recognize some of the region’s best Start-up companies in a live “Shark-Tank” style television show produced for Bright House On-Demand.

Tampa Bay’s premier pitch competition, Pitch 6, features the top five start-ups from the Regional Business Awards competition as they pitch in front of a live studio audience for cash and promotional prizes worth more than $30,000! 

Four real Angel Investors including Kevin Harrington, formerly of Shark Tank, will listen and evaluate a 6-minute pitch and determine which company they believe is the best. The winner will receive free television commercial production, commercial air time, mentions in the Bright House customer newsletter, and cash!

The filming will be at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) at 4801 East Fowler Avenue in Tampa.  Networking with peers and Angel Investors starts at 5 p.m. and the show runs from 6 to 7 p.m. Cost is $25 per person, which includes drinks and light hors d’oeuvres.

On Feb. 5, join Bright House and fellow business owners for networking and the announcement of the winner at the Awards Gala at the Tampa Convention Center.

Dock-n-Lock

A tamper-proof  “Smart Tag” that locks a mobile phone inside a secure locker while driving. It prevents the dangerous use of mobile phones while driving. The first of its kind capable of eliminating the physical, visual, and cognitive distractions caused by texting and talking while driving.

What could be simpler? Prevent distracted driving by requiring the driver to “dock and lock” their mobile phone before starting the vehicle. While driving, the mobile phone stays out of reach and sight of the driver, keeping their eyes up, hands on the wheel, and mind on the road.

Health Hero

To help make employees healthy and well, Health Hero provides simple, fun, rewarding solutions to companies. They do this through a super simple, mobile, social game that rewards employees with real gifts & virtual fun – all for getting healthy.

The goal is to prevent head of households from premature death by focusing on fun social employee wellness that works with the whole family. Being dubbed the “Disney of Wellness,” Health Hero looks to disrupt the Corporate Wellness market.

Innovatia Medical Systems

IMS designs miniature wirelessly networked devices for Minimally Invasive Surgery. Laparoscopes provide an extremely limited field of view increasing the probability of undetected collateral damage and interfere with surgical instruments. IMS’ HD video cameras provide simultaneous close-up imaging of the surgical site and imaging of the entire abdominal cavity giving surgeons visibility comparable to that of open surgeries, and are disposable.

SampalRX

SampalRx.Com is a pharmaceutical sampling portal that offers physicians a single site to access multiple manufacturers’ samples, coupons and vouchers

Save On Medical

Save On Medical is a premiere resource for patients when it comes to shopping for and booking medical services. Patients are able to specify the type of service they require, then search to find the best price, location and physician for them. By comparing average costs of similar services in the patient’s area, Save On Medical allows for pricing transparency in the health care market, which enables the patient to decide what is important to them when it comes to their care. Just like travel sites such as Hotels.com and Travelocity, Save On Medical provides the patient with all of their options, then enables them to choose which route they want to take. Other sites will provide the information, but no one else gives patients this opportunity to make the choices that are best for them. The Docometer measures each facility based on price, quality and convenience, tailored specifically to each patient, ensuring that they are provided with their best options. Patients are able to quickly and easily schedule appointments and pay for services up front without stress, and at a fraction of the price.
