Karen has been putting together a great mock pitch event. Steve Ketchpel will be both helping organize the event and be a panelist.   From Karen: 
You will each be given from 10-15 minutes to present your projects to a panel of 2-3 venture capitalists or foundations (you specified your preference, we will try and accommodate that).  This panel will then give you constructive criticism of your pitch. The objective is to strengthen your pitch to improve the likelihood of success with a "real" funder.
Atif, Avni, David, Deepti, Erik, Maranga, Sam, Shachi, Saori, Uuve and Michael all expressed an interest in participating. We will do three simultaneous panels to accommodate all of you.
Others are invited to watch...alumni will be invited to observe as well and to benefit from the experience.   Please note: we will need a full two hours, so we are starting at 3:00pm
