2023 Quick Pitch Recap

After a 3-year hiatus due to COVID, the re-booted Quick Pitch competition came back, thanks to the John G. Watson Foundation, and in conjunction with our partners at CONNECT for Innovation Day at Petco on September, 14th, 2023. Not only was 2023 the triumphant return of the event, but also it was the first time in Quick Pitch history that the event was livestreamed via Zoom, with NuFund members across the country tuning in and participating in Q&A and voting. In the end, 1st place and $7,500 was awarded to Healcisio, which is an AI-based precision analytics platform for healthcare providers, and the 2nd place prize of $2,500 went to Roga Life, which is a wearable device for reducing anxiety.
