Celebrating Innovation in the Big Apple
BUSTLING STUDENT MARKETPLACE
Twenty high school teams shared their businesses to an engaged crowd of 230 guests. Many teams sold out of their products!!! From emotional support teddy bears to eco-friendly haircare to kits designed to comfort those who fear flying, there was something for everyone at the Marketplace!
THRILLING PITCH COMPETITION
Our three finalists delivered compelling pitches to a panel of VIP judges. The competition was fierce, but Care Assist, a social enterprise founded to support the homeless population in NYC, emerged victorious and took home the grand prize of $2,000!
