The Community Foundation of Louisville is proud to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Vogt Invention and Innovation Awards.

Join us for the Vogt Awards Demo Day on Thursday, October 15. Meet the six 2020 early-stage companies competitively selected to receive $25,000 in non-dilutive grant funding, participation in a 10-week lean startup education program, coaching from scalable startup CEOs, industry mentorship, and strategic introductions.

Demo Day is an opportunity for the grant winners to present their companies and the progress they’ve made to the startup, investor, and business communities.

The Vogt Awards are funded by the Vogt Invention and Innovation Fund at the Community Foundation of Louisville. This endowment fund was established in 1999 by Mr. Henry Vogt Heuser, Sr. to strengthen Louisville’s economic health by supporting innovative startups and inspiring entrepreneurship.

With the announcement of the 2020 winners, the Community Foundation of Louisville is honored to have supported 84 companies with $3.5 million in Vogt Award grants throughout the program’s 20-year history. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the 2020 founders.
