EforAll Longmont pitch winners include Spanish-speaking business operators

LONGMONT — EforAll Longmont’s annual pitch competition was a bit different this year as founders showcased their companies in both English and Spanish. 

A total of 12 candidates participated across the two events — one an English pitch slam and a Spanish version of the contest — administered by nonprofit startup accelerator.

“Pitch contests are a great way for community members to share their latest business ideas and potentially win funding to support startup costs,” EforAll Longmont executive director Caroline HafeleWe said in a prepared statement. “We are grateful to have an opportunity to learn about these new ideas and encourage new business development throughout Boulder County.”

The winners of the English-language pitch slam were:

  • Michael Milakovic of Mighty Mikes Foods.
  • Carolyn Taylor-Harris of Sanita Soul.
  • D.L. Pos Ryant of The Peace & Humanity Smoothie Bus.

The Spanish-language victors were:

  • Victoria Garcia of Apapacho Cacao.
  • Mayra Lagunas of Aprendo en 20.
  • Yesica Colin of Adventure Tots.
