Greetings, dear readers and supporters of BrandLens. We come to you today with humility and gratitude for an incredible journey. Glendale Tech Week‘s Pitchfest event, held from September 12 to 14, was an opportunity to celebrate innovation, connect with tech enthusiasts, and share our vision. We are genuinely humbled and honored to announce that BrandLens was chosen as the winner of this prestigious competition.
A Gathering of Innovators
Glendale Tech Week is not just an event; it’s a gathering of innovative minds, a place where connections are forged, ideas are shared, and dreams are nurtured. This year’s event brought together local and regional attendees, including tech leaders, investors, and educational partners. It was filled with learning, networking, and sharing in the spirit of innovation.
Throughout the event, attendees had the opportunity to explore various activities, from a Women in Tech Panel, sponsored by Phonexa, to a Chess Tournament, and insightful panel discussions on topics like AI, negotiation skills, and financial strategies.
The Peak: BrandLens Takes the Honors
At the heart of Glendale Tech Week was the Demo Day Pitchfest, an occasion where early-stage startups like BrandLens had the chance to present their innovative ideas to a panel of judges and investors. It was an intense competition, and we were grateful for the opportunity.
When the moment of truth arrived at the Closing Party & Tech Awards, we were genuinely surprised and honored to be announced as the winners of the Pitchfest competition. To be the winner among so many great startups is humbling.
Our B2B SaaS platform, designed to help businesses crowdsource authentic, engaging, and fun branded video stories, was recognized as a standout innovation.
The Reward and the Future
Beyond the recognition, we were awarded a prize package valued at $139,500. This acknowledgment is a testament to our commitment to innovation and the tireless efforts of our team.
The event also featured a commendation to Disney for its 100th Anniversary and investments in the city. It’s a testament to the thriving tech ecosystem in Glendale.
