The annual 2021 Flywheel Investment Conference has pushed the total investment award up to $200,000 as a result of the Flywheel Angel Network's sold out investment fund.

The Flywheel Angel Network is a group of North Central Washington based investors that selected the six start up companies that will compete for the award at the conference on May 20.

"We're really excited about the growth we've seen with the Flywheel Conference," said Jenny Rojanasthien, NCW Tech Alliance executive director.

A hybrid event is planned for this year’s Flywheel Conference, with in-person attendance limited to speakers, presenters, and investors due to COVID restrictions. Early bird pricing is available for folks that purchase tickets before May 1.
