Monday, April 27th, the Zahn Innovation Center hosted its third annual Demo Day Expo at the City College of New York. Thank you to our judges and the 500 students, faculty, friends and community members who attended the event to see our 25 semi-finalist teams share the prototypes and social lemonade stand concepts they've been working on for the past semester. Every one of our teams has worked so hard and deserves a huge congratulations. Our judges had to make difficult decisions — the competition was fierce!
After much deliberation, the judges selected two teams from each of the four competition categories–Kaylie, Zahn, Zahn Social Innovation, and Standard Chartered Women Entrepreneurs' Prizes. These 8 finalists will pitch again in front of a select audience on Wednesday, April 29th at 5pm. To support your team and find out who takes home the grand prizes, join us for a private stream of the event in the Zahn Center @ Marshak (there will be snacks). We'll also announce the winners of the audience choice award!
Our 8 finalists are…
