We’re excited to pull back the curtain on the finalists that will take the stage at the NOSH Live Winter 2019 Pitch Slam, presented by 301 Inc.

Of the six finalists, the one chosen winner will benefit from an awareness advertising package valued at $10,000 and an interview in the Livestream Studio.
