The second day of the Jacksonville Venture Competition will culminate in a pitch competition in which five companies — including three from Jacksonville — will face off in an effort to secure up to $1 million in venture funding. The companies competing from Jacksonville include:
- Blue Vigil, which makes tethered drone power systems
- Archer First Response, a medical transportation company
- Operade, which produces a preoperative beverage
Also competing is Greenville-based 6AM City, a digital media company that provides hyper-local news and events coverage in six Southeastern cities, and Chattanooga-based Iconic Moments, which helps cultural organizations use Web3 technology.
