Coralville-based CQM Systems beat out 14 other competitors in Technology Association of Iowa‘s third Pitch & Grow event last Thursday. Held at the Hotel at Kirkwood Center in Cedar Rapids, this Pitch and Grow was the first the organization has put on outside of Des Moines.

CQM Systems, described in their pitch bio as a “distributor of energy efficiency technology designed to optimize processes involving heat exchange in water cooling applications,” was selected along with three other companies, Revolt Inc, Corvida Medical, and Dibzees, to move on to the Pitch Off final round before the winning by a vote of the crowd.
