in Houston Business Journal's
Article "Grows
From a Pitch to an Orthodontics
Authority" |

HTC Graduate,
OrthoAccel Technologies Inc., has
grown to 10 to 28 employees between 2011

students from Chicago did not present a
pitch for the company at the Rice
Business Plan Competition in 2006,
chances are the company would not be
here today.
