NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Plano, IL, United States, 10/06/2009 - Walters Manufacturing, Inc. named in FundingPost’s 6th annual Pitching Across America Competition as one of the Top 50 Emerging Companies.

Walters Manufacturing Inc has been named one of the top 50 winners of the FundingPost's sixth annual Pitching Across America™ competition.

WMI makes bolt-in replacement automatic transmissions for Harley Davidson motorcycles. Motorcycles require the coordination of two hands and feet to operate and that can be intimidating to beginners or impossible for someone with a handicap. WMI eliminates those barriers by fully automating the shift and clutch functions.

FundingPost (fundingpost.com), a company that has been introducing entrepreneurs to investors for 6 years, established the Pitching Across America competition in which 130 Venture Capital Funds and Angel Investors served as judges voting on business summaries from emerging companies nationwide. Emerging companies were evaluated on a scale of 1 to 10 and judging criteria consisted of several key points including: the professionalism of the written summary, current stage of development (customers, revenue), competitive advantage and need in the marketplace, feasibility for success, and whether the company is venture worthy.

Rick Walters, President of WMI, states, "We are honored that Funding Post has named us a winner in the pitching Across America competition. As an early stage company, it's great to be recognized by a national panel of venture capitalist investors. It certainly provides validity to our market, technology and business model."
