Alumna Wins at Bark Tank Competition
Pivot Program alumna Izuo-Ere “Mimi” Digifa won $10,000 to put toward her startup venture at Georgetown Entrepreneurship’s Bark Tank Pitch Competition. Digifa was one of eight finalists competing for the Leonsis Family Entrepreneurship Prize, an annual award that honors and supports Georgetown students who have launched or are preparing to launch business ventures that will address problems in the world around them. In front of a panel of 10 judges, Digifa pitched her business venture Flolango, a line of eyeshadow palettes aimed at empowering people through positive messages and poetry included on the inner packaging. “I was inspired to create Flolango by my love for poetry and makeup and also rendering positivity. These poems and quotes are meant to empower the individuals who use the product. The poems serve as words of affirmation to increase the beauty and self-love our customers feel on the inside, as our richly saturated colors heighten each wearer’s outer beauty.”
