“Have a great idea for a mobile app? AppItUp!” That was the challenge from UPStart and the SBDC to Penn students this fall. Students from across the University submitted great ideas for mobile apps, and investors evaluated these ideas and chose the best to be featured at the AppItUP Fall Challenge Event on Friday, November 22. Ten semi-finalists, chosen out of nearly 200 submissions from members of the Penn community, pitched their ideas to a panel of “sharks,” five software development companies who planned to each choose one of these ideas to turn into reality. The twist: the ideas were so good that one company chose two, for a total of six winners!
