OneSixOne Ventures

Last night, OneSixOne Ventures hosted the Demo Day for our Startup Launch Competition. Over the past 10 weeks, 30 teams of student founders participated in the program, with the top three teams showcasing their impressive progress during the event. It was incredible to witness the drive and ambition of these three student founding teams. The WiseWork Ai, Knowlify, and MentorShip teams delivered outstanding pitches to our judges. Congratulations to Knowlify for winning the $10,000 grand prize! We also enjoyed two insightful panels: one featuring accomplished founders Aaron White and Dan Rua, and the other with venture capitalists based in Florida, TJ Fleming and SPENCER ELLIOTT. I'm thrilled to see what lies ahead for these three teams! #Startups #VentureCapital #Innovation #PitchCompetition #UF
