Description

Join the FastForward U Fall 2022 Fuel cohort as they answer questions from the judges' panel for the chance to take home a slice of the $20,000 prize pool.

Each of the nine accelerator teams have been hard at work over the fall semester, adding some Fuel to their fire in order to move their ventures forward.

At Demo Day, each team will present their pitch and then answer questions from a judges panel. Afterward, the judges will deliberate to decide which ventures take home a slice of the $20,000 non-dilutive prize pool. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to vote on your favorite venture as a crowd-choice favorite. The team with the most votes will receive an extra $3,000 for their venture.

Presenting ventures include:

  • Dialect: a marketplace for programming help
  • Haven Cloud: the world's most secure and private cloud-storage platform
  • Quest 2 Learn: an app with exciting technology, using augmented reality and game design to teach courses in the lab sciences
  • MedSetGo: a cloud-based platform to seamlessly aggregate countless medical-service offerings into a simple, easy-to-use platform
  • Tastee Tape: edible tape
  • ThermOptik: developers of QuikClear, a device that uses dynamic temperature control for cataract surgery to increase provider efficiency
  • Drul: a hardware device that uses saliva to track and monitor oral health
  • Sequoia: slowing cognitive decline in older adults by directly enhancing their deep sleep
  • Curve Assure: a novel device for dynamic preoperative patient data collection, providing surgeons and custom-device manufacturers with the data necessary for true precision medicine

Esteemed judges include:

  • Margaret Roth Falzon, venture capitalist and chief operating officer at Squadra Ventures
  • Zac Fox, senior professional marketer at Under Armour
  • And more to be announced
