This final 5 Across event was yet another success (see www.5across.org).

The 5 pitches were:

• Wes Brooks presented Wedding Caption, which is a wedding photography iPhone App.
• Garrett Ebel pitched his Moving Consulting Business.
• Susan Yeary stepped in for Jessica Pope to pitch LeGrand, which is a business that designs and sells equestrian luxury products such as clutches and handbags.
• Randy Lynn presented “Starborn Solutions” which is a best-practices and operational model for home health agencies enabled through management, consulting, support, intellectual property, proprietary business practices, process/workflow and technology.
• Tony Shmidt pitched APOonline, which is community based online organization management service, currently targeting university fraternities, sororities, etc.

The winner decided by the judges was Tony Shmidt with “APOonline”. The audience winner (decided via text message) was Tony as well. Congratulations Tony on winning the $2,500 grand prize! You did a great job with your pitch as well as growing your business.

All the pitches were great! We're sure the judges had a hard time making their decision. Thanks to everyone who came out in support of this final event of the year as well as all the previous events. We here at Awesome Inc. are always happy to see you and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. See you all next year!
