Gearing up for the Challenge Cup

Well, we have some good news CurbNinja fans! We have been selected to participate in the first ever Challenge Cup pitch competition being run by1776 in DC and hosted by 1871 in Chicago. We are super excited to take part in this regional competition where we are competing for cash and prizes. We applied under the ‘Smart Cities’ category where we are aiming to help reduce traffic, reduce emissions, and save commuters fuel costs by encouraging them to ride instead of drive into the city.

From the Challenge Cup website:

“THE CHALLENGE CUP  is a global competition to identify and celebrate the most promising startups tackling the biggest challenges. The competition will center on startups innovating in four primary categories: education, health, energy, and smart cities. The competition will identify the startups with the potential for transformative solutions to seemingly intractable problems, highlight exciting developments happening in areas of global importance, and spotlight the global startup ecosystem, with an emphasis on key cities around the world.”
