If someone had told me I’d land a spot on a TV show... 📺 It all began with a simple application for the Los Angeles Venture Association's Elevator Pitch, and it quickly turned incredible when my company, Aspivix, was selected as participant: 🌟 Over 40 startups from various industries pitched their ideas 🌟 A panel of 5 renowned investors judged the competition 🌟 Four great sessions in LA from June to August 🌟 And only one winner would snag a chance on the Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch TV Show... ... Aspivix has been selected as the winner of the final competition! 🤩 I'm beyond proud and honored to represent a start-up leading the charge in Women's Health with innovation improving women's care. 🔜 Now, let's get ready to pitch live on TV and persuade the jury (Marc Randolph, Kim Perell, Jonathan Hung, Rogers Healy, Dhani Jones) to join our mission on making a strong social impact for women's care. My takeaways: 🎢Startup life is a wild ride—always believe in yourself and trust your vision! 📈 Hard work pays off (even if it takes time) 🤝 Building connections is crucial! ✨ Always take that leap; you’ve got nothing to lose but regret!
