Thank you to the eight Start-Up Alley companies who participated in this year’s Under the Ed Radar Pitch Competition at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference.

The competition is an exciting event where a select group of start-ups present their business ideas to a diversified panel of leading innovators in higher education, edtech, and others in the field for the chance to win a special prize package.

Judges follow up with feedback on each of the company's business models, services, and opportunities to provide them with direction to take their businesses to the next level.

Congratulations to grand prize winner, Reetu Gupta, Cirkled In, as well as runner-up, Masoud Douzan, JIBB.
