AppItUP is a mobile application idea challenge designed to gather the best app ideas from the Penn community and connect them with the funding and technical expertise necessary to make them a reality. AppItUP is the brainchild of the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Center for Innovation and PCI Ventures.
Out of 233 app ideas, 5 finalists were selected for development. At Demo Day, the finalists will pitch their companies and at least two will be chosen for a $50,000 offer of investment from Ben Franklin Technology Partners.
Ben Greenberg, VP of Mobile Products & UX at WebMD, will be the keynote speaker.
A light breakfast will be served.
