AdCap Challenge Splash

FINALIST EXPERIENCE

With hundreds of submissions, the top five teams were selected to travel to the AdCap Challenge Finalist Experience at SAP’s Newtown Square, PA office along with all of our Challenge Partners. At the Finalist Experience, each team had to participate in four mini challenge before delivering their final pitch to a panel of esteemed judges that included GENYOUth’s own CEO, Alexis Glick.

These five teams came from all around the country to compete for seed funding, scholarships, and prizes.
