San Diego, Calif., Jan. 30, 2020 -- A startup founded by a UC San Diego electrical and computer engineering graduate student is one of five finalists in the 2020 UC Pitch Startup Showcase held Jan. 29 and 30 in tandem with the Global Corporate Venturing and Innovation Summit in Monterey, Calif.

Educational Vision Technologies, founded by Monal Parmar, a UC San Diego electrical engineering master’s student and electrical engineering undergraduate alumnus, uses technology to help students study more efficiently. Specifically, EVT uses computer vision and machine learning algorithms to autonomously generate interactive notes and video from course lectures, without any extra work required on the part of the professor or lecturer.
由加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UC San Diego）电气工程硕士生和电气工程本科校友Monal Parmar创立的教育视觉技术公司（Educational Vision Technologies）利用技术帮助学生更有效地学习。具体来说，EVT使用计算机视觉和机器学习算法，从课程讲座中自动生成交互式笔记和视频，而不需要教授或讲师做任何额外的工作。
During the UC Startup Pitch contest, Parmar will have five minutes to wow a room full of thousands of venture capitalists, and three judges who are also investors. The winning startup moves on to Extreme Tech Challenges’ regional round, and a shot at up to $10 million in funding.
在坎特伯雷大学的创业宣传比赛中，帕尔马将有五分钟的时间让一个房间里挤满了成千上万的风险投资家，还有三位同样是投资者的评委。这家胜出的初创企业进入了极限科技挑战赛的区域赛，并获得了高达1000万美元的融资。
“The biggest value I think is in just attending the conference,” said Parmar. “Presenting at it is crazy—there are 800 corporate VCs attending and the keynote is the president of Samsung Electronics, so for an early stage startup to present at the same conference as the president of Samsung, that’s a crazy opportunity.”
帕尔马说：“我认为，最大的价值在于参加这次会议。“出席这次会议太疯狂了，共有800名企业风投出席，主题是三星电子总裁，因此，对于一家初创企业来说，与三星总裁一起出席同一个会议，这是一个疯狂的机会。”；

Though Parmar and the EVT team have racked up a slew of awards and funding—including wins at UC San Diego’s Basement Demo Day, Triton Entrepreneur Night, and Ignite’s pitch competition, as well as participation in the Institute for the Global Entrepreneur’s I-Corps program, funded by the National Science Foundation—they were still surprised when they learned they were a finalist at the UC-wide competition.
尽管帕尔马和EVT团队获得了一系列奖项和资金，包括在加州大学圣地亚哥分校地下室演示日、Triton Entrepreneur Night和Ignite的球场比赛中获胜，以及参加由国家科学基金会资助的全球企业家I-Corps项目研究所；当他们得知自己是全加州大学竞赛的决赛选手时，仍然感到惊讶。
“It’s amazing that we were selected,” Parmar said. “I was totally stunned because the UC system is so vast and this competition includes alumni, faculty and students, so for us to get selected, that meant a lot. The UC system doesn’t joke when they say they want to support students, faculty, and alumni to create companies that will make an impact on society.”
帕尔马说：“我们被选中真是太神奇了。“我完全被震惊了，因为加州大学的系统如此庞大，而且这场比赛包括校友、教职员工和学生，所以对我们来说，入选意义重大。坎特伯雷大学系统不会开玩笑说，他们希望支持学生、教员和校友创建对社会产生影响的公司；
After the competition and conference wraps up on Thursday, Parmar heads to Arizona State University the next day to compete in the Innovation Open competition. EVT is one of 28 startups selected from universities across the country vying for two $100,000 grand prizes. EVT is one of only three startups at Innovation Open from California, and the only startup selected from the University of California.
在周四的比赛和会议结束后，帕尔马将于第二天前往亚利桑那州立大学参加创新公开赛。EVT是28家从全国大学中挑选出来的创业公司之一，他们正在争夺两个10万美元的大奖。EVT是加州创新公开赛仅有的三家创业公司之一，也是唯 一一家从加州大学挑选出来的创业公司。
