The Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce today announced the six finalists for its annual Pressure Chamber pitch contest, to be held at 4 p.m. August 25 at the Monona Terrace during Forward Festival.

The Madison-based finalists are bluDiagnostics, Fetch Rewards, Health eFilings, Redox, SmartUQ and Swallow Solutions. The winner of the competition, which proceeds neXXpo, will receive a trip to Silicon Valley in October to pitch to global investors.

“The pressure is certainly on for these startups but arguably more so for the judges and audience who must pick a winner among such an exciting, high-potential slate of companies,” Chamber President Zach Brandon said in a statement.

As previously reported, neXXpo and Pressure Chamber, once standalone events, are now part of Forward Festival.

Fishidy won the inaugural Pressure Chamber in 2014.
