On May 24, 2018

The rain clouds over the skies in Madison couldn’t dampen spirits or shrink attendance at the capacity-crowd BullPen event on the campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University last evening, at which a single company claimed both the Panel Award for Most Fundable as well as the Audience Favorite.  KidGooRoo won the night in a presentation by Co-Founder & CEO Alex Skove, who described her business model as “the Yelp for kids’ extra-curricular activities”. KidGooRoo has emerged as the #1 online resource for parental review of their children’s real-life afterschool activities. The free site helps parents partner with neighborhood businesses to help school-age kids gravitate toward the passions that will positively shape their futures.

The competition for KidGooRoo was tough, with presentations by the following early-stage presenting companies, as well as an undergraduate student enterprise from host campus, FDU.

FokisOn: An intriguing company that offers a unique interactive activity, called a Moment, which captures the attention of your colleagues through incentives.

Zeblok : A groundbreaking company that has designed smart gait products that operate within a bio-informatics cloud for the healthcare industry.

Park With Me: An FDU student-led business model that will facilitate Hosts to rent out their private parking spaces to Users to earn extra income.

The BullPen pitch event at FDU was co-hosted with the widely popular Morris Tech Meetup, headed by organizer John Carini.
