New Venture Competition Semi-Finalists

Congratulations to Gabrielle McCracken, a 2019 master’s degree alumna of the Cybersecurity Strategy & Information Management program for reaching the semi-finals in the 2020 GW New Venture Competition (NVC).

We look forward to learning more about her business proposal, called “Crumb Snatchers LLC,” which won one of 12 semi-finalist slots in the Social Ventures category and one of 36 semi-finalists overall.

The NVC competition has hit a historic high with over 428 participants that represent 206 teams. Over 100 judges from all over the world have whittled down the field to the top 36, with only 12 semifinalist teams per track.

Find out who will win the competition at the New Venture Finals on Thursday, April 16 from 6-8 p.m. Tickets are free and open to the community.
