The startups are competing along two tracks: concept stage, for entrepreneurs launching businesses, and seed stage, for businesses accelerating growth.
A panel of five judges representing investors, entrepreneurs and corporate stakeholders from across the state selected six early-stage startups to compete in the Alabama Launchpad Startup Competition Finale.
