🏆 Congrats to Beem for Winning Best Pitch
Last Wednesday’s pitch event was a whirlwind and a half. But in the best of ways:
Almost $10m of investor interest was drummed up in 1 hour
Haley Bryant brought that A-game MC energy
Ryan, Brianne Steve and Vivek had the perfect follow-up questions
and each of the founders recruited loads of interest (in VC $$ and email intro requests) while pitching their concepts
It was a clear win across every side.
But as you know, the startup world is a capitalistic one so we need to decide on a pitch winner.
To do that, we let the audience vote. And the winner for the best pitch of the day was Beem Founder, Akshay.
