We heard all the pitches and the jury decided that "Otly!" & "falcon", such as "count3r" won the pitch competition. Otly will pitch at the Walk-the-Plank pitch-competition at Pirate Summit 2016, while falcon & count3r won tickets to attend the PS.

- www.Otly.net is a virtual bank for kids run by their parents, that helps to educate their kids to be smart with money.

- www.usefalcon.nl is a platform to get convienience goods (e.g. beverages) on demand, connecting the customer with nightshops.

- www.count3r.nl is a software for Tablet Assisted Sales focussing on providing more effective salesman in offline retail stores.

Now it's time for some networking! :) ARRR!
