Big updates!
Hi everyone,
Last week, Vessel Athletics competed in San Jose State's Silicon Valley Innovation Challenge (SVIC) and won 'Best Elevator Pitch', 3rd place from 'Best Overall Innovation' and $1,000! Thank you to all the judges who provided us with great feedback and everyone who expressed interest in our startup. Additionally, a big thanks to the Lucas College of Business, Silicon Valley Center for Entrepreneurship (SVCE), and IDEAS for providing students with opportunities like this!
Lastly, as of this past week, our crowdfunding campaign has officially come to an end. We were able to raise $2,691 from the help of 36 donors. Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign by donating, sharing our page, and expressing your kind words of encouragement! From the additional $1,000 we won from SVIC last night, we were able to exceed our goal of $3,000!
Thank you for your support!
Best,
Jasmine Sanchez
