Please help us boost attendance by extending this invitation to your network, too.  Sponsored by The Optical Society, the 2021 Luminate Finals will include overview videos from the accelerator’s 10 finalists, quick tips for startup founders, and a panel discussion with distinguished women in science and investment, including Susan Houde-Walter, Dr. Manjari Chandran-Ramesh, Marcia Lesky, and Leslie Kimerling. Not only will you be part of the excitement as you watch teams walk away with $2 million in follow on funding but you’ll also have a chance to vote for your favorite  team and help them win the Audience Choice Award of $10,000!
