HydroSense just made it into the third and final round of the University of Washington Business Plan Competition. After winning the Environmental Innovation Challenge, we added three new members to our team, all of which are UW MBA students: Vandan Parikh, Debbie Tran and Zach Okun.
This year, the BPC had over 90 entries from 10 universities in Washington State; 33 of these teams were selected to advance to the “Investment Round.” There were around 200 judges at this event, lasting from 1-5PM on Tuesday. A week prior, each judge received a one-page executive summary for each team. At the event, judges received $1,000 CIE dollars to invest in a minimum of five teams. Judges walked around the room, talked with teams and looked over their displays. The top sixteen teams were announced at a small ceremony at the end of the night (around 6:30PM).
Here’s a quick write-up in TechFlash.

Congrats. I love your disguise.
