reSET Won Big at CTNext’s EIA Awards
We’re thrilled to announce that three of the six $10,000 winners (below) at last week’s Entrepreneur Innovation Awards (EIAs) were mentored by Eric Knight, the Entrepreneur-In-Residence at reSET. Eric’s EIR position is a statewide resource, supported by Connecticut Innovations’ CTNext program.
As a bit of background, the EIAs are a fun, Shark Tank-style pitch event for Connecticut entrepreneurs and startups to compete for cash prizes. The reoccurring event is also hosted by CTNext.
- Asarasi Sparkling Tree Water (Recent graduate of reSET’s Impact Accelerator, Cos Cob)
- Lucca Ventures (Southington)
- Pelletric (Norwalk)
In addition, Asarasi won $2,000 as the “Audience Favorite” and Lucca Ventures won $2,000 as the “Judge’s Favorite.”
Congrats to CTNext on a successful evening! And a special shoutout to Bariatric Collar LLC and Hanlee Productions, LLC (d/b/a TruckHike) for their participation; both businesses were finalists and were mentored by Eric at reSET as well.
