~ Technovation Challenge Pitch Night ~


You are cordially invited to the Technovation Challenge Pitch Night on April 22, 2010 at the Microsoft Silicon Valley campus in Mountain View.

Join us as we celebrate the conclusion of the Spring Technovation Challenge with a business plan competition and an awards presentation for the winning teams and outstanding individuals. The evening will feature keynote speaker Diane Greene, founder of VMware, along with renowned VCs and entrepreneurs, Katherine Barr, Theresia Gouw Ranzetta, and Adeo Ressi, as our Pitch Night Judges.

This will be a unique opportunity to network with industry leaders and budding entrepreneurs and to learn how to take an idea from concept to launch!

 

The Technovation Challenge

 

The Technovation Challenge gives young women from Bay Area high schools the chance to work with Silicon Valley mentors to build skills and experience in technology and entrepreneurship.

This spring, 45 high-school girls and 25 industry professionals took part in the challenge to build the most creative mobile app. During the 8-week program, these talented young women participated in hands-on workshops  on topics including object-oriented programming, communication, teamwork, and business fundamentals.

 

Pitch Night


Each team will showcase their mobile apps to a panel of distinguished judges to win exciting prizes, including the opportunity to spend a summer as an intern at a high-tech start-up.

So come join us for a fantastic night where you can network with like-minded professionals, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs, and support our program goals of giving young women increased opportunities to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs in technology!
