The following blog post was written by Alice Lam and was published earlier this month on BCIC’s blog as part of a series profiling BCIC-NewVentures Competition: Regional Top 20 Finalists.
The top 20 finalists are in! The BCIC-New Ventures Competition: Regional announced the 20 startups that will move to final round of competition for a chance to win one of three cash prizes worth a total $60,000. Here’s one of the 20 companies that have made it this far and will be working hard over the next few weeks to perfect their final presentations to a panel of venture capitalists, financiers and angel investors.
PTA meetings, lunchtime pizza sign-ups, after school dance lessons, weekend soccer games, visits with grandparents – the modern family has a lot to juggle.
