Zlien To Be Featured At New Orleans Entrepreneur Week

NEW ORLEANS - March 12, 2013 - PRLog -- The Idea Village is gearing up for the 2013 New Orleans Entrepreneur Week event, and Zlien™ will be a featured company.  Zlien will be featured in the organization's Power Pitch event and will be analyzed by Columbia Business School as part of the IDEACorps challenge.

The Power Pitch event is a fast-paced investment pitch featuring 12 New Orleans ventures and a panel of national angel investors. It is an invite only event scheduled on Friday, March 22. Zlien will be pitching to the panel of investors for a chance to win a trip to San Francisco to pitch for additional venture funding.

The IDEACorps challenge pairs businesses with MBA students from designated business schools. Zlien has been paired with Columbia Business School.

The MBA Students spend their time at New Orleans Entrepreneur Week studying the business and working on a scope of work to make a positive impact. The MBAs all compete on Friday, March 22nd, on who "moved the needle" most for the company.

Zlien, an organization that solves credit problems in the construction industry by enabling companies to collateralize their accounts receivables, previously raised a $500,000 seed round of financing organized by the New Orleans Startup Fund. In October 2012, they were chosen by Idea Village to take part in the 2013 IDEAxcelerator program, which is billed as an intensive six month accelerator program that "provides promising start-ups with resources and tools critical to their success."
