  • Grand prize: Velox Biosystems (http://www.veloxbio.com) – recognizing the startup team’s breakthrough technology and demonstrated business opportunity. Velox Biosystems has developed a one-step, culture-free method for detecting bacteria and pathogens in water in less than 60 minutes. The test is simple, efficient, and more sensitive than conventional detection methods that can take up to four days to process. Velox Biosystems has the potential to revolutionize the water industry and ensure water supplies are clean and safe. “We are thrilled to win the PortTech Pitch Grand prize award! It’s a validation of our hard work, technology and ability to build a successful business by making our simple clean water test available to the broader water management market,” said Neto Sosa, Velox Biosystems’ chief technology officer. “Participating in the Pitch coaching sessions really helped us improve our presentation, better target investors and prepare for new market opportunities.”
