Despite a lack of in-person courses and the “normal” level of social interaction, New Mexico college and university students showed up (virtually, of course) in force for the Spring 2021 Rainforest Pitch Competition. Once again, students were only given one chance to submit a 90-second pitch to be judged by industry leaders. The virtual competition doesn’t have more than one round like the in-person version, so that means no do-overs. The judges’ choices are in and 10 students were awarded their share of the $4,750 prize pool. We are incredibly excited about all the contestants in this semester s pitch competition, it seems like they get better and better each semester, and it was incredibly difficult for the judges to pare down the winners,” said Rob DelCampo, executive director of the UNM Innovation Academy. “With such a great set of ideas, we are incredibly excited to get back to an in-person model to help them on their entrepreneurial journey and all be together
