“The da Vinci model looks like the classroom of the future. I want to use this model to scale it up throughout the entire university. We want to make the entire VCU look like the university of the future.”
– VCU Provost, Fotis Sotiropoulos, Ph.D., VCU News
Speaking of Better2Gether, congratulations to that team for winning the People’s Choice award. The people spoke and they chose you.
But, we’re not done with awards, The Todd Allen Phillips Memorial Award, sponsored by Pranav Nehveli, will go to The Children’s Soap Company of Virginia. Our Executive Director personally recommended this founder because she embodies the hustler spirit of entrepreneurship.
We also have a few honorable mentions for Black Azz Coffee, Tapped, Pascal QuickGel, Dress for Yourself, and Ti Boulé.
We were excited by all of the teams that participated in VCU Demo Day and look forward to what you do in the future!
