We are thrilled to share that WSPER has emerged victorious in the inaugural Launchpad Pitch Series, hosted by StartUP Northshore at the historic North Star Theatre & Cultural Center. The Launchpad program is designed to spotlight early-stage innovators with bold ambition and high-growth potential.
A Platform for Innovation
Launchpad is more than just a pitch competition. It serves as a critical platform for entrepreneurs working to solve real-world problems. The event featured three standout finalists: WSPER, AXECO Media, and whatgradewillitget.com. Each team presented their vision to a panel of local investors, business leaders, and innovation champions. See the full finalist lineup on LinkedIn.
A Momentous Win for WSPER
Our win validates the growing demand for what we’re building: a reliable, always-on panic alert system that works when other solutions fail. WSPER’s LTE-powered panic buttons and sensor hubs are designed to deliver real-time alerts even in Wi-Fi or power outages. The judges recognized the critical need for this kind of infrastructure across industries like education, hospitality, retail, and cannabis.
What This Means for Us
- Momentum: This win adds credibility and helps drive new interest in our product and mission.
- Community Validation: Being chosen by regional leaders affirms the impact and necessity of our work.
- Growth Opportunity: With this support, we’re one step closer to expanding our reach and fulfilling demand.
Thank You
We’re grateful to StartUP Northshore for creating such a meaningful opportunity, and to the judges and fellow founders for sharing the stage with us. Most importantly, thank you to everyone in our community who continues to support our vision.
This is just the beginning for WSPER. Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of smart, reliable safety technology.
