Thanks everybody for coming tonight. Impressed with the quality of our startups. Thanks our VC panelists for giving out some very helpful comments. A huge shout out to our NYU partner, SourcePad and Ajax Union for making this possible! We'll let you know the winners of tonight's event ASAP.

The scores are in! Our staff counted the results last night. Some panelists sent in their picks this morning and I'm just done with compiling the charts. You can see the analytical charts from our photo section for this event. SpaceSplitter will do a full length pitch at SAB 14 on 3/29. KeyWifi will be getting perks via our Mentor Network (http://www.ny-entrepreneur-network.com/pages/NYEBN_Mentor...
). Congrats to both winning startups!Posted February 24 at 12:40 PM

Gerry MintzWell organized, stayed on time, and panel was very engaged and helpful. Some of the companies were weak, but I guess that's the name of the game.

Doris ToumarkineWell run event but Andrew needs two different ear pleasing AUDIO sounds to signal: 1. 30 seconds left and 2. You're done! Paper waving worked during the American Revolution.
