Pitches local and global, the somewhat self-indulgent and the world-saving, scored equally well at the College Pitch Philly competition Wednesday at the University Science Center’s Quorum.
On the side of creature comforts, Andrew Nakkache (Class of 2016, Temple University) took home first place honors for a soon-launching app called Habitat that “makes it easy for college students on campus to order pickup and delivery from their favorite food trucks and local vendors.” Typically, food trucks are not part of home (or dorm) food delivery services, but Nakkache found a high percentage of his fellow Temple students would be eager to order from trucks on the other side of campus. When launched, students who are willing to walk a mile – or stop at a truck on their way home – will be able to profit as food pickup and delivery staffers. Study up at tryhabitat.com.
