In just 8 hours, I entered a pitch competition and won $1000! When I saw Jonny Boyarsky’s LinkedIn post calling for founders to participate in a flash pitch competition, I knew I had to join. I signed up, and by 3 pm, I was selected as a finalist. By 4 pm, I gave my pitch! I am proud to say that I won $1,000! This funding is crucial as we prepare to launch Elcove in retail, making our sustainable products accessible to everyone. The spontaneity of this competition was so much fun and learning about the other finalist's companies was inspiring. Every company is making such an incredible impact. I am extremely thankful to Jonny, Silicon Valley Bank, and Literally Helping Startups for setting up this incredible event and changing founders' lives. Thank you to the judges Aidan Kittredge, Matt Fotheringham, and Ben Maitland-Lewis your job was tough with such outstanding companies, and I am so grateful that you thought Elcove was worthy of first place! Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
