113 early stage companies applied to compete in the third annual Venture Madness competition - a bracket-style business competition modeled after the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament. The applicant pool was narrowed down to 64 companies which began competing head-to-head online to try to enter the Sweet 16. The top 16 finalists including NuvOx competed in an in-person live pitch event at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale over a three day period. This win resulted in a cash prize of $60,000.
