Before the holidays, these fabulous founders pitched their startups at our Lean Essentials Sprint Demo Day - some it was their first time pitching, some were trying out a new pivot or a different way of pitching their competitive advantage. They collectively did a ton of customer interviews to get to this day, so here is a time to celebrate them!!! We had a handful pitch virtually and the majority pitch live @usd_fei to a group of early-stage angel investors. There were:
🔹 @goalongtravels
🔹 Rutabaga
🔹 @roomchazer
🔹 Inertia Atelier
🔹 SDB
🔹 Productivity Wave
🔹 Wayfarer Aircraft Research & Development
🔹 @dinealytics1
🔹 POP-Cart
🔹 @athletechllc
🔹 @chasescrollapp
🔹 @foodreveal
🔹 @destination.baby.co
🔹 @drinkerva
🔹 @marrs.solutions
🔹 Goldenfish Industries

At the end of 2022, the HBCU Founders Initiative made a commitment to inspire even more “good trouble” in 2023 through entrepreneurship and innovation at #HBCUs. The results are in! We expanded our reach by increasing the number of Pre-Accelerators we facilitate on HBCU campuses from 7 to 12, provided HBCU students with hands on entrepreneurial experience by placing them at internships with early stage startups via a partnership with Blackstone, and co-hosted a pitch competition with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) featuring HBCU Founders at the National Musuem of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.

Thanks to the generosity of our corporate and foundation partners and the hard work of our startup advisors, staff, university administrators, and most of all, the founders, these are just a few of the ways we made progress toward our big tent approach to entrepreneurship and innovation. Before we leap into the New Year, please take a moment to celebrate all of the tremendous impact we created together throughout 2023. We hope it inspires you to help us make 2024 our most impactful year to date.
