Join us for a celebration of our programs and companies at the 2023 Bounce Startup Showcase!
You’re invited to Bounce Innovation Hub’s biggest event of the year! We’re showcasing our outstanding companies and programs, while treating our guests to a night of food, music and networking. Connect with our companies, team and each other. Entrepreneurs can also look forward to connecting with potential mentors, customers and investors. This year, we’re also offering our annual VIP dinner, office hours and two entrepreneur-focused workshops.
Amy Mucha lives in Kent, OH with her husband Nate and her three kids Peter the mathlete, Charlie the clown and Daisy the company namesake. As a former high school math teacher turned professional pop artist, Amy still tries to use all of that educational and math knowledge to run Daisy Pops in the most efficient, fun and organized way. After five years of running the cake pop empire out of Amy’s home, Daisy Pops moved out this past April to the Pop Shop in downtown Kent where a dedicated team of 15 pop artists create these delightful and delicious treats.
