Ritch Ventures and Community Equity Partners Host Successful Pitch Day at IMG Golf Club
On April 24, 2025, Ritch Ventures (Bradenton, FL) partnered with Community Equity Partners (Knoxville, TN) to host an exciting Pitch Day at Bradenton's beautiful IMG Golf Club.
Eighteen dynamic companies took the stage to present their innovative ideas to a room full of investors, business leaders, and community officials. We were honored to welcome special guests Courtney De Pol, Deputy County Administrator for Manatee County, and Robert Wenzel, Zoning Official with Development Services for Manatee County, who joined us to show their support for local entrepreneurship and innovation.
A highlight of the day included a special video presentation featuring middle schoolers from Rowlett Academy, proudly showcasing their creative inventions developed through the OWL’s Opus program — reminding everyone that the future of innovation is bright and already taking shape.
Thank you to all the participating companies, our incredible partners at Community Equity Partners, and the community leaders who continue to foster growth and opportunity here in Manatee County and beyond!
Stay tuned for future events and initiatives from Ritch Ventures!
