On Friday, May 23, twenty young Scottish entrepreneurs pitched their hearts out to a panel of expert judges in a dragons den style event at RBS Global Headquarters in Edinburgh as part of the We Are The Future<\/a><\/strong> challenge. These twenty were already winners having made it through to the final from an initial entry of over one hundred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each entrant pitched and responded to searching questions from an experienced judging panel. After long deliberation, the judges were able to select just six winners, who will take part in a week-long program of events and meet-ups in California. The trip will include visits to Silicon Valley to meet with technology giants Apple, Ebay and Hewlett Packard; a masterclass delivered by a leading Techstars coach; time with local young entrepreneurs operating from world renowned accelerators including Y-Combinator, Rocket Space and 500 Startups and several leading VCs. The week-long visit will culminate in the first ever Scottish Start Up Summit which will be held in San Francisco on July 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the six winners was Calum Leslie, a Texas Beta (Texas) Phi and creator of Wooju<\/a> an App that allows you to snap & solve indecisive moments with your friends help. Wooju allows users to snap pictures, ask a yes or no questions and send to friends to let them help make decisions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
