  1. Dear Eileen,

    Happy Friday

    We’re a startup that developed a novel algae with the California Centre for Algae Biotech that came across your website through the MASSChallenge database.

    We’re looking for advice on our pitch before the pitch competition at the end of this month for the MASSChallenge in Switzerland

    Would you have a half hour available to view our 10 minute pitch and provide feedback for 20 minutes?

    Warm regards,
    Nicholas LaValle
