San Diego MIT Enterprise Forum will present its 3rd annual May Tech Fiesta on May 14, 2014 at the Medical Education & Telemedicine building on the UC San Diego campus. The program will feature 3-minute “elevator pitches” from selected companies to an audience of investment bankers, capital investment and planning experts, venture capitalists, angel investors, service providers, senior executives and other entrepreneurs. Presenting companies will also staff display tables during a networking reception before pitching their companies and products to the audience.

At the end of the evening, audience voting will determine the winning company in each of the following categories:

– Company you want to hear more about
– Company most likely to be bought by Facebook
– Company most likely to issue the largest tech IPO ever
– Company most likely to be the first to meet Mark Cuban
