Post by Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT)

What happens when innovation meets opportunity? Last year at the Mid-Atlantic Capital Conference, Sync Labs, a real-time intelligence startup for frontline healthcare teams, entered the Lion's Den and received $175,000 in live investment commitments. The Lion's Den is Cap Con's signature live investment event, very similar to Shark Tank, where founders pitch their companies to a panel of investors making real investments in front of a live audience. Applications to pitch this year at the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Capital Conference are now open! Selected companies gain exposure to investors, advisors, corporate innovation leaders, and the opportunity to earn a place in this year's Lion's Den. Join us November 9–10, 2026 in Philadelphia to shape what's next in the Mid-Atlantic region. (Registration and application links in the comments)
