Technovation Challenge Pitch Night: "Fixing Silicon Valley's Gender Gap One Pitch at a Time"

The Technovation Challenge Pitch Night was a smashing success!

The girls stepped up with incredible pitches, battled tough questions from the all-star judging panel, soaked up the overwhelming support of the community (over 200 attended), and were rewarded with fabulous prizes.

We'll have more up soon!
