April Chai, a Media X major, is the first-place winner of Pacific Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summit’s Pacific Pitch event<\/span><\/a>. Pacific Pitch is a Shark Tank-style competition where students deliver a five-minute pitch describing their products, service or business to a panel of experts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sat down with April and interviewed her about her experience with the event and what it means to have won the first-place prize of $1,000.<\/a> Of course, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to ask her 12 rapid-fire questions!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
