Bear Baiting
March 28th, 2008
The Otago University put on an excellent night of entertainment on Wednesday with their first Bear Baiting competition. Barry Colman was on his fine “Dragons Den” form for the event laying into the competitors with some tricky questions. All competitors had great, creative ideas which made for entertaining pitches. As the idea alone was being judged there was no requirement for long boring financials. Damian Newell, the MC for the competition, did a brilliant job of running the event and controlling the Bears (”Be nice!”). Congratulations to Christine Grove of Supportit who who the $5,000 of UPSTART mentoring.
