COEUR d'ALENE — People often celebrate Wednesday as the midpoint of the week. But at last Wednesday’s Startup Pitch Contest, five local founders hoped it would be just the beginning.
More than 60 people gathered at the Innovation Collective in downtown Coeur d’Alene to hear founders pitch their startup to a panel of judges. At stake was a $1,700 cash prize and a half-day advisory program from Aspect43, valued at $20,000.
