Holiday Celebration Pitch Competition Winners & Finalists

This past December we hosted our inaugural Black Tech Saturdays Holiday Celebration Pitch Competition! Our rapid-pitch style showcase featured 30 innovative startups across industries like AI, Mobility, Education Tech, Climate Tech, Food tech, Health Tech and Sport Tech.  These companies are revolutionizing rapidly evolving industries, shaping the future in Michigan and beyond! Our judges Talona Johnson, Justin Onwenu, and Lauren Uddyback had the near-impossible task of selecting our 3 standout winners: 

• 1st Place Reaction Technologies

• 2nd Place Celer Energy 

• 3rd Place Arke Inc. 

• Our awesome community selected our People’s Choice Recipient BIRTH BNB.

These entrepreneurs reflect the grit and brilliance of Detroiters. We would love for you to get to know all of these founders! Please feel free to check-out all of our pitch finalists below!
