Nathan Freystaetter, founder of Go Fig, participated in Furman University's GVL Starts, a 9-week long program hosted by the Hill Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The program consisted of mentorship from professionals across a broad range of expertise, pitch practice, and comradery from other startup founders. The program culminated in the highly anticipated GVL Starts Demo Day, a pitch competition in front of a crowd of over 200 people and 3 judges, including Shay Houser of Founderville VC.
Three startups received a $5,000 grant-- one for Best Product or Service, Best Technology, and Crowd Favorite.
The judges announced Go Fig as the winner of the Best Technology startup and took home a big check worth $5,000!
