Winners of The Big Pitch Ada 2020

ADA, OKLAHOMA - Six start-up companies competed virtually on November 12th for cash prizes during The Big Pitch Ada hosted by the Ada Jobs Foundation (AJF).  

 

Entrants applied to compete from across the state, with AJF selecting six finalists to pitch a new business idea, service, or product line, and be awarded money to further their innovation and expert feedback based on the quality of their presentation and overall business concept. This year, the Big Pitch allowed companies to pitch in two categories: a category for concept-stage ideas for a potential business, and a category for early stage businesses or product lines.     

 

The selected finalists had five minutes to make their business pitch to a panel of judges consisting of industry experts, which was followed by questions and answers with the judges.  

 

The winners were announced during the event and they are as follows:   

The other top finalists making pitches included Fredeshia Neely with WeCare&Co and Cody Tucker with Convey640.

 

“The Big pitch Ada showcased amazing entrepreneurial talent. We commend all of the entrepreneurs for their hard work, and look forward to seeing them grow their businesses,” said Srijita Dia Ghosh, AJF Entrepreneurship Specialist. "This event, along with the Startup Ada Bootcamp are fostering ways to collaborate and build a culture of innovation in our community."
