5 ACROSS OCTOBER 2016 RECAP

Awesome Inc had a spook-tacular time at this month’s 5 Across! It was standing room only as Digi-books, Renegade, The Minipantry, PASIV Duty, and OpenEddi presented their pitches.
Digi-books got the night rolling with their pitch about a program that provides video summaries of a chapter, blogs, and additional assistance regarding a chapter or the book as a whole.
Renegade kept the energy up with their pitch about creating your own sustainable off grid home. These homes offer unique features that make each one special to the homebuilder.
The Minipantry followed with a fantastic pitch about single-use spice packets that reduce cost and waste for consumers.
PASIV Duty brought their idea to the table about a safety and communication device designed for police officers and other law enforcement.
Concluding the night was a pitch by OpenEddi, a company designed to create software that makes data collection powerful and interesting.
The crowd vote winner, which is determined by an app used during the event, was Digi-books. The overall champion was PASIV Duty winning the $500 prize money!
Join us on December 7th, for the 5 Across finals where each month’s 5 Across winners come together and compete for a chance to take home the grand prize!
