Last Thursday, we were kindly posted by BidWrite for a breakfast that was anything but ordinary. The highlight? Our epic "Pitch It to Me" challenge that had everyone's creative juices flowing. Imagine pitching concepts like: - Reinventing Santa's Delivery Service 🛷 - Launching an Elf Startup Incubator 🧝♀️ - Disrupting Reindeer Logistics 🦌 - Exploring Mrs. Claus Venture Capital 💡 Teams collaborated, brainstormed, and delivered pitches that were both hilarious and ingenious.
