Five Women Entrepreneurs to Compete in “Shark Tank”-Inspired Pitch Competition

Posted by Amanda Del Signore on Fri, Oct 07, 2022 @ 03:35 PM

The Women|Future Conference has selected five women-owned businesses to compete in the Women-Owned Business Pitch Competition this year. Registered attendees can watch the competition live on November 9 at 12:00 PM ET.

This “Shark Tank”-style pitch competition provides a platform for a select group of women-owned businesses to compete for a chance to win funding support for their businesses and initiatives, and provides the opportunity for international exposure to hundreds of attendees.

Over 200 applicants applied for entry, but only five finalists were selected by the Women|Future Conference leadership team to present their pitches, face questioning, have their pitch evaluated by a panel of judges, and win funding! The winner of the competition will be announced at the conference November 10 at 2:25 PM.


The 2022 Women-Owned Business Pitch Competition finalists are:

Equability
Equability is an online clothing modification service for individuals with disabilities. It was launched in 2020 after their research had identified lack of adaptive clothing as a barrier to social and professional participation. Equability gives people the ability to conveniently modify clothes to suit their style and lifestyle.

Born out of necessity during the COVID pandemic, The Village App seeks to redefine how people use technology and create a modern-day equivalent of a healthy, happy village community. The app encourages collective coordination, enabling users to connect with others in their community who are offering or seeking neighborly assistance and connection.

Tiny Fish Co.
Tiny Fish Co. aims to inspire the canned fish industry by sharing products that are sustainable, flavorful, and tell the fish’s story from water to tin. Their focus is on the tiny fish from the Pacific Northwest and encouraging consumers to create environmentally conscious eating habits.

XpertPatient LLC

With all education developed from authoritative sources such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines, XpertPatient has been purposely designed by nurses, doctors, and patients to help individuals with cancer achieve the best treatment results possible, clinically and financially.

The Pitch Competition will be hosted by Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Sharon Delaney McCloud, a TEDx Speaker, a Certified Executive CDE, Adjunct Professor, agency owner, and a cancer survivor. With over 30 years of experience on local and national stages and online, Sharon’s goal is to help people make an impact by understanding and embracing the power of storytelling in business to move hearts and minds, and to drive better results in their business.

Sharon is a fierce advocate for women in business and develops programs designed to elevate their career trajectory.

Her diverse client list includes Cisco, Lenovo, Eaton, 7-Eleven, Duke University, UNC Health, Florida State University, SAS, Biogen, Merz, and many others. Meet the Pitch Competition Finalists

Pitch Competition Format and Judging Criteria

The format of the pitch competition is inspired by ABC's critically acclaimed, entrepreneurial-themed TV show, Shark Tank. Each finalist will present a live, three-minute virtual pitch about their product/service, business model, and target market.

A panel of four judges will evaluate each pitch using a five-point scoring rubric provided by the Women|Future Conference. The judging rubric takes into account criteria such as leadership capabilities, innovativeness, competitive advantage, maturity of the technology or product, business model, prospects, growth, response to the live questions, and preparedness for the competition.

The judges of the 2022 Women|Future Conference Pitch Competition are:

  • Kim Roxie, Founder, LAMIK WFC22 JudgesBeauty, and first-place winner in the 2021 Pitch Competition
  • Heather Cox, President, Certify My Company
  • Sree Kanuri, Senior Product Manager, DELL Technologies
  • Shubhi Nigam, Product Lead, Carta Inc.

With over 15 years of experience, Dusty Welsh provides startup founders from around the world with a 3-step magic formula for wowing judges, impressing audiences, and delivering a killer startup story.

Die Reise eines Gründers: Wie Michael Gallagher die Stevie Awards vor 20 Jahren von Grund auf aufgebaut hat

Posted by Jana Novatscheck on Fri, Oct 07, 2022 @ 03:00 AM

Heutzutage sind die Stevie® Awards weithin als die wichtigsten Wirtschaftspreise der Welt bekannt, aber der Weg hierhin verlief nicht ohne Risiken, Herausforderungen, klare Ziele, Entschlossenheit und ein engagiertes Team.

Michael Gallagher gründete die Stevie Awards im Jahr 2002, um die Leistungen und positiven Beiträge von Organisationen und Fachkräften auf der ganzen Welt zu würdigen und öffentlich bekannt zu machen. Jahr für Jahr werden Tausende von Nominierungen in einer Vielzahl von Kategorien für acht Stevie Awards-Programme eingereicht. Alle Organisationen - öffentliche und private, gewinnorientierte und gemeinnützige, große und kleine - können Nominierungen einreichen. Einsendungen, die Leistungen im Bereich Pruduktinnovationen, Vordenker-Rolle, kreative Marketingkampagnen, hervorragender Kundenservice, unternehmerische Tätigkeiten und seit kurzem auch die Reaktion auf COVID-19 umfassen, werden von unserer angesehenen Jury geprüft.

Zu den früheren nennenswerten Stevie Award-Gewinnern gehören Aflac, Apple, Chipotle, Bank of America, Ford Motor Company, IBM, ING, PayPal, Procter & Gamble, Roche Group, Samsung, und Verizon, unter vielen anderen. In kürzester Zeit wurde die Stevie-Trophäe mit einer Kristallpyramide als Spitze zu einem der begehrtesten Preise in der Wirtschaftswelt. 48052353451_03d746386b_o-1

In den folgenden Interviewantworten erzählt Michael Gallagher von seinem persönlichen Hintergrund und seinen Erfahrungen, die das Fundament und die Grundwerte der Stevie Awards geprägt haben.

Wie und warum sind Sie auf die Idee gekommen, die Stevie Awards zu gründen?

Nachdem ich seit meinem 16. Lebensjahr für andere Leute gearbeitet hatte, befand ich mich an einem Punkt in meinem Leben, an dem ich etwas anderes tun musste. In den 80er Jahren genoss ich es, sechs Jahre lang für eine Firma namens The New York Festivals, die Preise für Video, Werbung, Radio, Fernsehen und andere Medien vergab, zu arbeiten und dachte: Das hat mir Spaß gemacht, aber die Welt braucht keine weiteren Filmfestivals. Aber warum gibt es keine "Oscars" für die Wirtschaft?

Was war Ihre bisherige Geschäftserfahrung und welchen Hintergrund hatten Sie, bevor Sie die Stevie Awards gegründet haben?

Nachdem ich sechs Jahre lang für The New York Festivals gearbeitet hatte, zog ich nach Washington D.C. und arbeitete sieben Jahre lang in der Messe- und Konferenzbranche und anschließend bis 2001 in der Dot-Com-Welt in verschiedenen Marketing- und Vertriebsfunktionen.

Was waren einige Ihrer Ziele für die Stevie Awards, als Sie die Organisation ins Leben riefen? Haben sie sich seitdem verwirklicht und/oder verändert?

Ich wollte, dass sie als die "Oscars der Wirtschaft" bekannt werden, und bis zu einem gewissen Grad haben wir das auch erreicht, aber natürlich sind wir noch nicht so bekannt wie die Academy Awards.

Was waren die größten Herausforderungen, mit denen Sie konfrontiert wurden, als Sie die Stevie Awards ins Leben riefen?

Für jedes neue Unternehmen ist das erste Jahr ist immer das schwierigste. Jeder Prozess, jedes Verfahren und jedes System muss zum ersten Mal erdacht, entworfen und umgesetzt werden. Das Geld war knapp, also mussten wir für das Meiste um jeden Cent kämpfen. Aber der Vorteil daran, dass man fast alles selbst machen muss, ist, dass man lernt, wie man so ziemlich alles macht.

Wie definieren Sie Erfolg bei den Stevie Awards?

Ein gut besetzter Wettbewerb, der von einer ausreichenden Anzahl erfahrener Fachleute geprüft und bewertet wird, was zu einem vielfältigen Gewinnerpool führt und eine gut besuchte Preisverleihung ohne größere Probleme ermöglicht.

Was ist etwas, das alle Stevie Award-Gewinner gemeinsam haben?

Das Bestreben, dass ihre Leistungen von einem größeren Publikum als nur ihren Kollegen gewürdigt werden.

Was bedeuten die Stevie Awards für Sie?

47195435251_7f7abaff05_o (1)-1Ich versuche, nicht zu sehr in der Vergangenheit zu schwelgen. Ich denke, ich bin sehr zukunftsorientiert. Ich betrachte die Stevie Awards als eine Bewegung und nicht als ein Unternehmen oder eine Organisation. Eine Bewegung hin zu einer breiteren öffentlichen Anerkennung der Leistungen von Menschen am Arbeitsplatz, jenseits der schlagzeilenträchtigen Milliardäre, die einen Großteil der Berichterstattung über die Wirtschaft beherrschen. In einigen Ländern und Regionen haben wir dies bereits weitgehend erreicht, in anderen kaum. Wir haben also noch einiges zu tun.

Was hat Sie in den letzten 20 Jahren bei den Stevie Awards am meisten überrascht?

Dass ich es immer noch tue und jeden Tag genieße.

Wie sieht Ihre Rolle heute aus, verglichen mit der Zeit, als Sie die Stevie Awards 2002 ins Leben riefen?

Ich muss nicht mehr alles wie in den ersten Jahren selber machen - juhu! Wir haben jetzt ein gutes Team und ich sorge mich nicht mehr wie früher um jede Kleinigkeit.

Welche Awards-Programme versprechen das größte Wachstum für die Zukunft?

Awards-Programme wachsen in der Regel in den ersten Jahren langsam, dann in den Jahren fünf bis zehn schnell und danach schrittweise jedes Jahr. Alle acht unserer Programme sind mehr oder weniger nach diesem Muster verlaufen. Ich kann nicht sagen, welches unserer bestehenden Programme am stärksten wachsen wird. Vielleicht werden es die sein, die wir noch nicht gestartet haben.

Was hat sich in den letzten 20 Jahren bei den Stevie Awards am meisten verändert?

In den ersten Jahren herrschte große Skepsis, ob ich es schaffen würde, und ob ich es danach auch noch am Laufen halten könnte. Diesen Punkt haben wir jetzt weit hinter uns gelassen. Ich glaube nicht, dass es heute noch viele gibt, die daran zweifeln, dass die Stevie Awards ernst zu nehmen sind und Bestand haben werden.

Was glauben Sie, wie die nächsten 20 Jahre der Stevie Awards aussehen werden?

Größere Akzeptanz und Wachstum in Gebieten, die die Stevie Awards noch nicht wirklich akzeptiert haben, wie Mittel- und Südamerika, Japan und andere Länder. Und alle drei bis fünf Jahre ein neuer Stevie-Award-Wettbewerb in irgendeiner Form.

Stevie-Winning Next Generation eSigning Platform

Posted by Maggie Gallagher on Wed, Oct 05, 2022 @ 10:34 PM

Stevie-winner Annature has exploded onto the world stage with its next-generation eSigning platform. Gone is the single-use digital signing solution – in its place is a platform transforming the future for eSigning, Know Your Customer/Anti Money Laundering, global ID Verification and Payments.

Annature is headed by Amreeta Abbott, an award-winning entrepreneur behind the development of the ground-breaking cloud-based document suite for accountants, NowInfinity. Amreeta completed a successful sale of NowInfinity for $25 million in 2020. 

Annature headshot
As the first lines of code were being written in early 2020, she set Annature on a mission to transform the traditional and insecure electronic signature offering she predicted wouldn't last in a digital business world.

Today Annature has achieved ISO 27001 certification as a technology company that operates an integrated digital signature, identity verification and payment platform facilitating global transactions with organizations of all sizes.

Built on blockchain technology, heavily featured and noted for an exceptional low-friction experience. And as a business principle, considerably more value-centric compared to overseas providers.

annature

eSigning accelerated during Covid lockdowns when it became physically impossible to get people into offices to put pen to paper. Business was transformed forever. In just months global organizations accelerated the digitisation of their customer and supply chain interactions and their internal operations by what management consultants McKinsey estimated was three to four years. Annature had already positioned itself to respond to that with agility and strength.

The company formally launched in August 2020. From the start, integrating with any major existing digital document system and incorporating a global ID, payment, billing and invoicing verification powered by global giant Stripe into its workflow solutions.

Annature planned the development timeline accurately knowing that Stripe's powerful ID and Payment API's were easy to embed into the Annature e-signing process as an integral part of the user flow. Enabling Annature to provide the holistic contract execution experience required by many fintech, insurance and other companies.

Annature delivers a cryptographically verifiable database and audit trail for all digital signatures. Establishing a tamper-proof digital certificate for critical compliance information. Laying the basis for any client to embed Stripe into their payment, collection and ID verification solutions.

Milestones

  • Process 5,000 Australian Government JobKeeper applications to keep people employed on one night in March - as proof of use and scalability 
  • Joined the Xero connected app marketplace
  • Annature replaced global competitor, DocuSign for the Real Estate Institute of Victoria 
  • Core eSigning Partner with FYIdocs for Xero accounting firms
  • Signed fastest-growing legal firm in Asia Pacific, LegalVision, Illumin8; partnership with APS Reckon, and more.

2020 was a massive build year. Client integrations of the customized platform performed seamlessly by an Australian-based team determined to ensure there were no technical surprises.

Qantas Business Rewards Exclusive Partnership

Annature is the only Australian eSigning company chosen to partner with iconic aviation brand, Qantas Airlines and showcased in the global airline's Back to Business campaign for COVID-impacted Australian businesses. Annature's eligible clients now earn Business Points on every document they eSign.

Commitment to eSigning for the Future

The focus will be on secure acceptance and signing documents online, exploring the ability to take payments and incorporate bio-metrics.

With the accelerating shift towards digital onboarding forecasters estimate the global market for Identity Verification will grow by more than 20 per cent in five years, with four billion digital identity verification checks conducted annually. 

Annature provides the highest level of security assurance with its ISO 27001 certification - the world’s highest level of information security management. Our digital signature technology is compliant with all major eSign laws and regulations including the ETA 1999, ESIGN ACT 2000, EUTA, GDPR Compliance and eIDAS.

Annature's Accomplishments Since Submitting their Stevie-Winning Nomination

Since winning their Stevie Award, Amreeta Abbott has not eased up in her tireless pursuit of methods to solve the business frustrations that dominated her early life as an accountant. 

Now the Australian Federal and key State governments have recognized the technological innovation and ease of customer use that has been the hallmark of her work for several decades.
 
Having designed a secure-for-the-digital age product and achieving ISO 27001 certification in Australia, Annature has recently completed the audit process required to maintain that accreditation for its secure data management.
 
Amreeta has been leading the company into surpassing all expectation with its offering of verified ID and payments capacity using Stripe ID and Stripe Payments technology – customer usage of the Stripe Payment technology on its platform has grown 6 times.
 
Because of its ability to help clients meet government regulatory mandates for digital signing and ID verification, Annature has expanded its customer base with firms in the legal industry, and mortgage and lending platforms in real estate.
 
One recent new partner is the Auckland, New Zealand company Margin Gains, disappointed with an overseas provider’s incapacity to migrate thousands of clients to meet regulatory and privacy demands and delighted with Annature’s ability to achieve the task within weeks, with no technological hitches.
 
Amreeta has marked a jump in revenue from the forecast 300% to 500%, 10 times growth in customers paying by Stripe Payments, and an astonishing four times growth in the first quarter alone in envelopes signed with Annature.
 
The future looks very bright indeed.
 
Since the submission Annature’s outstanding capacity to deliver has been met by soaring interest from both Government and the business community.
 
The Annature platform has now been implemented by Australian Federal and State Governments secured new cloud-first customers in the legal industry and expanded its footprint with several national real-estate brands onboarding Annature for eSigning.
 
Annature is now the sole provider of verified ID and payment operations for one Australian State Government’s vast procurement tendering system. Annature has also recently completed the audit process required to maintain that accreditation for its secure data management.
Annature meets individual international country requirements for eSigning and identity verification around the world.
 
Among these new international partners is the Auckland, New Zealand based firm of Margin Gains. Margin Gains was attracted by Annature’s new ID verification product for migrating existing and new customers - and its ability to meet government KYC and AML regulatory requirements. It has also lauded Annature’s famed responsiveness to inquiries and exceptional technical performance of the platform.
 
Customer usage of Stripe Payments technology on the platform has grown 6 times. Of the businesses that trial Annature, 1 in 3 sign on for a paid subscription within the 7-day Free Trial Period, giving them a benchmarked 33% conversion rate.
 
Annature won the Gold Stevie Award for Most Innovative Startup of the Year - Business Product Industries and the Silver Stevie Award for Award for Innovative Management in Business Product & Service Industries - Up to 100 Employees in the 2022 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.
