The Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce announced today the six finalists for its annual Pressure Chamber pitch contest, to be held at the Majestic Theater from 3-6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20 as part of Forward Festival.

The finalists are from the Madison area: CranioSure, Cubby, Maize, SideShift, SixLine Semiconductor and Terra Bioforge.

“As we kick off Pressure Chamber’s second decade, this initiative continues to be a prime opportunity to enhance connectivity with coastal investors while amplifying the innovation happening in our regional economy,” Chamber President Zach Brandon said in a statement. “We look forward to hearing from this exciting new group of emerging companies that will help write the next chapter in Greater Madison’s story.”

Similar to years past, companies will pitch their business to a panel of investors, business executives and a live audience. The winning company receives a trip to Silicon Valley to meet with investment firms in the fall.

Child Health Imprints won the event in 2023.
