A diverse group of early-stage presenting companies competed for choice investor-panel feedback and valuable professional services at the eighth BullPen pitch event, presented by TechLaunch and held at New Jersey City University’s School of Business. Each of the four presentations was followed by robust exchanges with both the audience and the venerable investor panel, after which it was time for both groups to vote. In a close nail-biter, the award winning B2B2C collaboration platform, Carii claimed the Investor Panel award as the most “fundable” presenter of the evening. Carii’s technology allows communication and engagement through absolutely seamless branded communities in a variety of industries. Their team will go on to receive over $20K in professional in-kind services from the sponsors of BullPen, including Withum, Gibbons Law, ND4 Advisory, Gearhart Law, and Casabona Ventures.
