Congratulations to all the contestants who pitched at Croc Pitch 2019. There were 19 incredible Northern Territory entrepreneurs who showcased some of the Territory’s most innovative ideas.
We are excited to announce Sam Pattemore of Corrosion Instruments as the 2019 winner. Corrosion Instruments is a tech based start-up developing an IoT (Internet of Things) technology to survey and monitor oil and gas pipelines. The technology accurately measures cathodic protection, collecting data in real-time, improving an outdated and costly process by providing a tool that didn't exist before.
Sam was awarded the $100,000 venture capital investment from Paspalis and an additional $50,000 Business Innovation funding from the Northern Territory Government. Sam was also awarded a 90 day placement at an Australian Government funding Landing Pad overseas with $5,000 towards costs.
Congratulations to Jessica Whalley, Baby Bum Shower and D’Arcy Ellis, Healthy Living NT on being awarded Darwin Innovation Hub memberships.
