At Colorado’s first Google Demo Day at Galvanize, sixteen Colorado startups had three minutes to pitch their budding businesses to a panel of judges including the creme de la creme of Denver tech, media, and business. These startup CEOs participated in gDemo Day in hopes of winning a trip to California and a chance to pitch their business to Google.
The OnSight team helped publicize the event, which featured 16 new companies (half which are helmed by women) pitching ideas that would revolutionize everything from parking spaces and farm-to-table restaurants to dating websites and water usage to a panel of judges consisting of a who’s-who of Denver tech, media, and business.
Sixteen startups, 3 minutes each (give or take) and 2 hours. Okay, make that 3. Galvanize’s first-ever Colorado Demo Day ended Thursday night with the crowd gathered around the bar as judges took about 15 minutes to make their decisions.
Congrats to the three winners — Native, RXRevu and Conspire – who now get to travel to California and make a pitch to Google! (Last year’s hand-picked winner from Galvanize, GoSpotCheck, nabbed a $100,000 investment from judge Steve Case of AOL fame.)
Native re-introduces and updates the personal travel agent for the 21st century traveler. RXRevu allows you to compare and research prescription drugs from a simple app on your phone. Conspire harnesses the power of your email contacts by creating a social network from those connections.
Congratulations to the winners! And good luck in California!
