#0102 - Grow Your Startup Investor Panel Discussion With Rich Maloy, Monique Idlett-Mosley, And Peter Alemis

Startup of the Year Podcast

On this episode of the Startup of the Year Podcast, we’ve got an investor conversation that my Co-Founder, Jen Consalvo, and I had a discussion during our “Grow your startup” pitch competition.

During the event, five companies had a chance to showcase their companies in front of our esteemed investor panel, which included our long-time friend and former colleague, Rich Maloy, who is currently the managing partner at Springtime Ventures and has had careers in finance and sales and of course working with Established. He is now on a mission to rebuild the American Dream through entrepreneurship and he is focused on working with and investing in early-stage startups.

Rich was grouped with fellow investor, Monique Idlett-Mosley, who is the founder and general partner of Reign Venture Capital, which is an early-stage investment firm that focuses on women and minority-led startups. She has served as the CEO of Mosley Music Brands and Mosley Music Group, which is home to a multi-platinum roster of artists such as Timbaland, Nelly Furtado, One Republic, and more.

Last but not least, Rich and Monique were joined by Peter Alemis, who is the founder and general partner at Alemis Ventures. Prior to founding his firm, Peter was the Chief Development Officer for Family Dental Care, where he helped scale and operate the business to become the largest private dental group in Chicago. He also started his career as an investment banking analyst in New York at RBC Capital Markets. You can watch the full pitch event over on our Established YouTube channel. https://soty.link/Panel

We also again shine a spotlight on one of the startups from our community and that company is Hallo Helper, which is a peer-to-peer marketplace increasing Accessibility, Inclusivity, and Cost Efficiency for On-demand Services or Work.

Startup of the Year helps diverse, emerging startups, founding teams, and entrepreneurs push their company to the next level. We are a competition, a global community, and a resource.

Startup of the Year is also a year-long program that searches the country for a geographically diverse set of startups from all backgrounds and pulls them together to compete for the title of Startup of the Year.

The program includes a number of in-person and virtual events, including our annual South By Southwest startup pitch event and competition. All of which culminate at our annual Startup of the Year Summit, where the Startup of the Year winner is announced, along with an opportunity at a potential investment.
