We had an awesome time at the Williams On Deck Sports Pitch Competition!

The competition, presented by Earth Brands, offered a $1,000 cash prize. Participants were tasked with pitching a new startup idea in the sports space. Four finalists were selected to present their ideas, all of which were technology-focused. Each finalist presented in front of a panel of alumni judges, including Misha and Peter, who were provided with a rubric. They asked follow-up questions after each pitch. The judges then deliberated together before selecting a winner.

Celine Mayer won the competition with her pitch, PracticePro, a statistics-based platform she developed to track the Williams Hockey team’s performance and practice data. Congratulations Celine!

It was especially full circle for Peter & Misha to come back to Williams as guest judges — hearing four sports startup pitches, asking follow-ups, and helping the alumni panel choose a winner.

Always love supporting the next wave of builders!
