On this episode of the Startup of the Year podcast we are
featuring our virtual event that we hosted, Honoring U.S. Veteran
Founders.
We had a great group of veteran-led companies presenting their
pitches. The STARTUPS included: Govlia (Fort Lauderdale, FL); Milk
Money Kitchens (New York, NY); Target Arm (Ridgefield, CT); TCare
(St. Louis, MO); and TruGenomix (Rockville, MD).
Additionally, the event was presided over by an incredible
group of amazing judges that included Burunda Prince (Chief
Innovation Officer of B6); Jason Rathje (Partner - AF
Ventures, AFWERX); Derren Burrell (President and Founder, Veteran
Ventures Capital); and Kim Folsom
(Co-Founder and CEO, Founders First Capital Partners, and
Founder, LIFT Development Enterprises).
Congrats to TruGenomix for winning the Pitch Competition! They
are now one of the Top 100 Semifinalists at the 8th Annual Startup
of the Year Summit. Also, we are very excited for TCARE,
which took home the People's Choice Award.
