The event is a partnership between UH’s RED Labs accelerator program, housed in the C. T. Bauer College of Business, and Rice University’s OwlSpark.
Slated for Aug. 1 at TMCx, Bayou Startup Showcase is open to the public and serves as the final step in a 12-week program for the teams from RED Labs and OwlSpark. The teams’ business ideas implement technology solutions aim to advance several sectors, from virtual reality physical therapy, to stealth-based party games.
RED Labs first collaborated with OwlSpark in 2014 for the inaugural Bayou Startup Showcase, and this summer, the two accelerators shared space in DesignHive, an alt-office concept that attracts technology, advertising, media and information firms to work collaboratively.
“We’re excited for RED Labs Class 5 startups to share their companies with the startup community,” RED Labs Managing Director Kelly McCormick said. “This event gives them the opportunity to implement what they’ve learned during the 12-week course, working toward prospects to further their businesses.”
