The final judging for the Silicon Valley StartUp Cup took place Oct. 30. Among the seven finalists who each gave a two-minute pitch to a panel of judges, including Saratoga City Councilman Manny Cappello, were Farah Chadwick of Saratoga and Ryan Flanigan, a facilities manager at West Valley College.
Chadwick is the founder of Startup-Pairup and Flanigan is the founder of Caked With Love. Both have a chance at first, second or third place when the winners are announced on Nov. 21 at the award ceremony and celebration. That event will be at West Valley College and is open to the public.
StartUp Cup provides an outlet for entrepreneurs who want to take an idea to market or grow an existing new business.
