Los Angeles, California Oct 14, 2024 (EMWNews.com) – Jon Mowl, founder of Play With ASL, was selected as one of the top 10 finalists in the SCORE Small Business Pitch Competition on Sept. 26 in Los Angeles, out of more than 2,200 small business applicants. Jon had 12 minutes to present his pitch and participate in a Q&A session. Play With ASL’s pitch covered the business plan, marketing strategy, and both short-term and long-term goals. His compelling presentation secured 2nd place in the competition.
Play With ASL is an innovative mobile application designed to make learning American Sign Language (ASL) engaging and accessible through gamification. Founded by a Deaf entrepreneur, the platform addresses gaps in existing ASL education by combining fun gaming elements with structured language learning, catering to diverse learning needs. Jon earned $10,000 for his pitch, which he plans to use to enhance the app’s capabilities by developing additional educational games, integrating Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards for use in educational institutions, and improving user experience. Funds will also support marketing efforts and expand the app’s availability to Android devices, broadening its user base.
“It’s an incredible honor to win 2nd place in the SCORE Small Business Pitch Competition, especially as a Deaf entrepreneur. Navigating the challenges of accessibility during the competition only reinforces the resilience of the Deaf community. This recognition shows that with the right tools and determination, the Deaf community can thrive and make a meaningful impact. I hope this inspires others to see what we’re capable of achieving,” said Play With ASL founder Jon Mowl.
The SCORE Small Business Pitch competition is an avenue for small business owners to showcase their presentation and selling skills to industry experts, win funding and gain valuable knowledge and mentorship, all at no cost. Judging criteria included the effectiveness of the presentation, brand identification, uniqueness and viability of the product or service, the thoroughness of the business plan, scalability and any sustainability or social impact. Financials were also assessed on overall potential.
Play With ASL plans to use the $10,000 for development costs and continues to seek business investors.
