On June 6th, 2016, I had the pleasure of attending PLUGATL's $10,000 Pitch Competition featuring Shark Tank's Daymond John. This event was held at Woodruff Arts Center in the Atlanta Symphony Hall. Prior to the event, approximately 100 entrepreneurs applied to be a part of the $10,000 pitch competition. The top 20 start-ups were announced, and the top 5 companies presented on stage to a panel of judges including Daymond John. Top 4 finalists were: Tydee, Inc. a mobile app trash pick up service for apartment dwellers; Make Music Count, teaching kids math via music; Alpha Bride, a competitive bidding website for weddings; and Farrago comics, an online platform for comic books. RaceIQ Engineering, a security firm focusing on preventing automobile car hacks won the $10,000 prize. After the pitch competition, there was a panel discussion followed by closing keynote speech from Daymond John.
