Description

Join the American Association for the Advancement of Science in celebrating the District of Columbia's young science and technology entrepreneurs in the culmination of the Lab to Launch Competition. Watch the finalists compete for $10,000 in total seed capital prizes as they pitch their innovations on-stage to a panel of entrepreneurship experts at AAAS on April 18.

About Lab to Launch

AAAS created Lab to Launch to identify and support promising local technology innovators by providing training, networking opportunities, and seed capital prizes: $5,000 for 1st place, $3,000 for 2nd place, and $2,000 for 3rd place.

Technology innovators from across the District submitted applications describing their business plans and technical innovations along with a two-minute pitch video. After merit-review by expert panels, six finalists were selected to advance to the Lab to Launch Finals on April 18.

About Lab to Launch Finals

The Lab to Launch finals are open to all! Seating is limited, though, so attendees must register on this Eventbrite page.

Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served while the judges tabulate their scores and decide the winners.

Tentative schedule:

5:00 PM – Live Pitching Commences

6:30 PM – Reception Begins

7:15 PM – Announcement of Award Winners

Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to allow time to be seated before the pitching commences.
