Turning Discarded Furniture into Success: Meet Brightside Furniture
Though the event is called, "The Big Pitch – The Ultimate College Competition," three colleges collaboratied to create a contest to support students and their entrepreneurial endeavors. The participating colleges, ASU, GCU, and MCCD, each selected three students with an idea or a company less than a year old to pitch at the competition.
The pitch took place during the Venture Café Phoenix Thursday Gathering to providing students access to a great network of support.
The awards were sponsored by Wells Fargo and APS and the student companies had the opportunity to win one of three prizes: Best Small Business ($4,000), Best Tech Business ($4000), and People's Choice ($2000).
