I loved emceeing the 4th annual Accelerate Investor Conference Gala awards dinner. What a great event and venue Army Navy Country Club. The Gala was the culmination of 2 days of inspiring pitches and content. So great to see so many incredible and promising companies. Congrats to Paula Sorrell Lauren Bigelow, PhD George Mason University Gregory Washington Ajay Vinze and your teams! The highlight for me was seeing so many The Big Idea CONNECTpreneur Community presenter alumni including Mark Baldino and Ronald Lewis FireBot Suppression, Inc. AtWork Systems. And Rachel Zayas-Schwartz of AGED Diagnostics And the best part of the night was when Rachel won the Grand Prize, so generously sponsored by Manesh Gupta. Keep up the great work Rachel!! Opus8, Inc.
