Since its inception in 2012, Compass has ruffled feathers within the real estate industry. First for its impressive seed funding round lineup that included investing giants, such as Goldman Sachs, as key backers, and then from there, CEO Robert Reffkin shook things up once again with rapid-fire market expansions, a slew of multi-million dollar funding rounds, strategic acquisitions and bold (sometimes controversial) recruiting tactics to bring the industry’s best to Compass.
All of those moves stoked rumors about an eventual initial public offering (IPO) that finally came to fruition on April 1. However, the company cut its offering a day before going live on New York Stock Exchange a decision that some analysts and industry members took as a sign that the proof may indeed not be in the pudding.
This Thursday, aspiring entrepreneurs will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges for the chance to win thousands in prize money.
But, unlike past years, theyâll be standing at a pitcherâs mound under the glare of stadium lights.
FoundersForge is partnering this week with the Johnson City Doughboys on Pitchers and Pitches, which will occur 6 p.m. Thursday at TVA Credit Union Ballpark. Gates will open at 5 p.m.
The event is a revamped version of the organizationâs prior startup competition, Pitches and Pints, and is the largest event of its kind in the region. The organization opted not to hold the competition in 2020 because of the pandemic.
