“The #OHIoT Reverse Pitch" is a signature event of the IoT Sandbox designed to seed innovation between established incumbents and entrepreneurial, technical, and academic communities across Northeast Ohio, Ohio, and the greater Midwest. The goal is to accelerate smart product innovation, bridge talent with opportunity, and position the region as a globally recognized hub for IoT design, development, and manufacturing.
Reverse Pitches flip the traditional model. Instead of startups pitching to investors, incumbents share real-world challenges they don’t currently have the bandwidth to address—but which, if solved, could create real business impact. These challenges often fall into the "mid-tier" category of priority, but many have game-changing potential.
Each Reverse Pitch is a structured opportunity to connect with problem solvers across the ecosystem. The event will host 100-150 attendees and include a full day of activity, collaboration, and matchmaking between incumbents and solvers.
