Monday, April 5, 2021 by Tai Moses
The winners of this year’s annual [Re]Verse Pitch Competition, “a program aimed at reducing waste in Austin through innovation and design,” are Plant Baxter, DV Designs, Biochar Filter Socks and Lola’s Classic Babies. The Innovation Fellows, as the winners are called, “will receive prizes valued up to $8,500, and participate in a four-month accelerator program to develop their ideas.” Each of the winning teams will be mentored during the accelerator program while they develop their circular business ideas. The teams will get the opportunity to present their ideas to investors as part of the city’s inaugural Circular Austin showcase on July 28.
