Alabama's first class of tech entrepreneurs in the Innovation Depot's tech accelerator program will make their final pitches Tuesday night.

Velocity Accelerator is hosting Demo Day from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Iron City. It's free and open to the public- just click here to reserve your ticket.

"We've got nine early-stage startups that will be on stage pitching their companies," Nate Schmidt, Program Director for Velocity Accelerator and CEO of Instagift said. "This is kind of their coming out party to the world after three months of intensive training, mentoring and funding."

Nearly all of the companies are seeking funding, Schmidt said. The audience will include mentors, community leaders, potential investors, as well as the general public. There's also an open bar.

Velocity Accelerator accepts 10 startup teams at a time and gives each $50,000 in seed funding. Then, they focus on building their company in a shared space in Innovation Depot. The 12-week program is designed for high tech startups focused on building products with low starting costs and high potential returns.

This is the end of the first year's program, but most of the companies will continue to work out of the Velocity space. This is the end of the first class, but Schmidt and the rest of the Velocity team will go into heavy recruitment mode for next year's class.

"This is the first finale for Velocity," Schmidt said. "We'll do it once a year starting in January, and the goal is just to build Birmingham's startup community."
