Norma Maloney started making energy bars in 1995 when her husband began cycling long distances and needed a more fulfilling snack for his adventures.

Since then, Maloney has turned her hobby into an Ooltewah-based business, called LoAdebar, and her all-natural, organic energy bars are now available in places like Whole Foods, local gyms, sporting stores and 22 regional airports across 15 states, including the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport. This Thursday, Maloney and the founders of 15 other companies that learned how to fast track their business’ growth over the last 12 weeks at The Company Lab will have a chance to showcase their services and products to locals and investors at CO.LAB’s “Demo Night.”

Businesses ranging from breweries to risk data and analytics firms will pitch their ideas, which marks the culmination of CO.LAB’s “Summer 2018 startup accelerators” program. Everyone is invited to the free event from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Waterhouse Pavilion at Miller Plaza, 850 Market St.

“CO.LAB’s support of high-tech and consumer-focused entrepreneurs reflects the best of our region’s entrepreneurial assets,” said Marcus Shaw, CEO of CO.LAB, in a statement.
