Jason Arend presenting Eagle Speak at the Spin66 Innovation Summit

First Prize Winner at Spin66 Innovation Summit

Eagle Speak has won first prize at the SPIN66 Innovation Summit Pitch Pit, and I’m proud to see the company earn that kind of response from the room.

The pitch is getting sharper because the problem is getting clearer. Work communication is fragmented, slow, and scattered across tools that often create as much friction as they solve.

With Eagle Speak, we are building a real-time communication platform around immediacy, presence, and focus. The point is not just to add another tool. The point is to help teams communicate with less drag.

Winning SPIN66 gives us more than prize money. It gives us momentum, visibility, and another reason to keep pushing the product forward as we move into the next stage of the company.

Building this from Springfield matters to me. A serious technology startup can come from here, compete in front of a broader innovation audience, and earn the room’s attention on the strength of the idea and the execution.
