Software Entrepreneurship Final Pitch

I recently completed Ed Lazowska and Greg Gottesman’s Software Entrepreneurship course at the University of Washington. The course was practical, with students forming groups and pitching to venture capitalists each week. We built a “startup” along the way: not just the product, but marketing, press releases, business plans, etc. My team was “Stimma”, an consumer-focused AI to help users negotiate bills with notoriously difficult customer service providers, such as ISPs. Right now, our landing page is at stimma.us.

You can read about the pitches and the class on Geekwire here.

Our final pitch was at Pioneer Square Labs. At the time of writing, the recording of my team’s pitch is hosted on Google Drive here (I’m on the far right in the GitHub hoodie).
