This is a short transcript excerpt from a Salesforce-hosted Dreampitch event video (Nov 21, 2016) where judges Mark Cuban, Chris Sacca, and others discuss prize distribution among finalists. They state respect for all entrepreneurs, note CRM and Appian as strong contenders, but announce Claire as the ultimate winner who will move into the incubator.
Claire
CRM and Appian
You've made some decisions. Tell us about them. I think Mike can speak to it. We made a joint decision.
Yeah. Everybody did a great job, and we wanted to show the confidence and respect we had for everybody. We all know that being an entrepreneur is not easy, and it's not easy to start a company. It's not easy to go from concept to implementation and just the amount of effort involved. So we all wanted to be clear that we respect everything that you guys have done. And rather than just picking a winner per se, we kind of wanted to spread the wealth and demonstrate that while we thought CRM and Appian were great, we thought Claire was the best. So, Claire, you guys got the majority, but you guys earned quite a bit as well. So pick up your winnings. Congratulations.
You tell us the breakdown, Mark.
Nope.
Oh, okay.
I'm not crossing Mark Heughan. I'm not crossing Mark Ewan. All right, well.
Go get your little.
Go get your vases. Count your money.
Hold on.
One more thing. We have one more.
Final final. Based on all the judging. Here is the end end. And I'm going to just announce the ultimate winner who gets to move into the incubator.
Ladies and gentlemen, a big hand for Claire.
Good job, man.
