Challenge Cup begins with local round next week

Local incubator 1776 will host the local Challenge Cup pitch contest on Thursday, Oct. 29. High-potential DMV-based startups will be pitching their concepts for a chance to represent the area at the next round of the challenge — the regional competition in New York City.
