Three Frisco ISD student startups left Pitch Night with real seed money and a clearer path from classroom idea to working product after judges heard their business plans and asked the kinds of questions founders face in the real market.
Nature’s Note from Emerson High School won first place and $1,500 for a handcrafted cologne concept built around natural essential oils and technology designed to adapt the scent to mood and environment. Lumenora from Heritage High School earned $1,000 for a garage organization and 3D design idea. Staura from Frisco High School won $500 for a storytelling app aimed at teens. Together, the awards gave the teams startup cash they can use to keep building after the event ended.
