What does it take to win $20,000 on a four-minute pitch?

At the 25th annual THE CLIMB | Pitch Night, six CU Denver student teams took the stage in front of 120+ attendees and a panel of esteemed judges, and three walked away with a combined $27,500 in funding.

🥇Renmira : Eugene Zhang's platform streamlining medication sharing between hospitals earned the full $20,000 first-place prize. As a licensed pharmacist turned MBA student, Eugene built a pitch that translated a complex operational problem into a compelling business opportunity.

🥈 Ella's Charm , a costumed character entertainment company founded by MS in Entrepreneurship students Mekella and Julie Butterfield, took home $5,000 for second place.

🌟 The $2,500 Mission-Driven Award went to Proactive Ethics, founded by Sean Mueller. Whose 17 years in financial services, 14 years of incarceration, and journey of accountability fuel a unique approach to ethics education and consulting.

20+ years and $1.2M awarded to date. And the next generation of Colorado entrepreneurs is just getting started. 🚀
