The Founder Showcase, an event hosted by the Founder Institute's Adeo Ressi, has helped seed-stage startups raise over $75 million since 2009. While over 850 startups have competed in the competition, just 109 have competed on stage, and we have crowned only 13 champions. Here are videos of the last ten pitches that won the event.
