From a sea of applicants spanning the state, five contenders are lacing up their gloves to compete in this evening’s Pitches Get Stitches (and $500) pitch competition by bizblip.com and in partnership with ITEN and TechSTL.
This regional pitch contest searches out promising, but very early stage startups that are not quite ready to get before investors, and in some cases even customers. But they’ve all got something on the ball, and a founder that’s ready to make their 2 minute pitch before judges and the public — unaided by pitch decks or photos.
The companies:
- StockSwap – An investment gamification platform
- Shades of Color – A personal beauty marketplace
- JAKAPA – Soft skill assessment and improvement
- DEMIblue Natural Nails – Clean, vegan nail polish
- Tulia Feminine Care – A sustainable menstrual hygiene product
The judges:
- Kathleen Klein, T-REX
- Anjie Sanford, BioGenerator
- Vikram Lakhwara, Green Cow VC
