Pennovation Center’s 2020 accelerator ended on July 16 with a virtual version of its Pitch Day event. Now in its third year, the six-week program supports 10 startups with business development and networking.

On Pitch Day, each startup gave up a five-minute pitch in front of 80 virtual attendees and a panel of three judges: Dr. Brandi Baldwin, founder and CEO of Millennial Ventures Holdings; Holly Flanagan, managing director at Gabriel Investments; and Rick Genzer, investment director at Ben Franklin Technology Partners.
