We were excited to be selected as one of 12 finalists for the Microsoft-sponsored Women In Cloud #CloudInnovateHer Pitch Competition. Qualifications for the competition included heavy usage of cloud technologies, which is something BackpackEMR certainly uses!
On May 1st, we were given 2 minutes to pitch BackpackEMR as a solid solution to a real problem. Due to COVID-19, we were, of course, all virtual. B’zt, an incredible company that creates clothing that includes tracking capabilities for at risk children and adults, was selected by the judges and won the grand prize. Congratulations to B’zt!
Afterwards, the audience was able to vote for their favorite, and we were honored to win the People’s Choice Award! Thank you to our supporters who voted for us! Part of our prize package includes $1000 in cloud credits and a ticket to attend a UN Delegation. We can definitely use both of these as we move forward.
THANK YOU to Women in Cloud for the amazing experience and your dedication to support women founders!
