The finalists are: Covel Allen of Arizona, Gil Allouche of Massachusetts, Raymond Angel of Indiana, Juan Carvajal of Florida, Andre Charoo of New York, Peter Ciancarelli of New York, James Clavin of North Carolina, Pete Coppola, Tyler Davis of Georgia, Joe DiPasquale of Connecticut, Leon Gomez of Florida, John Lynn of Nevada, Michael McCarthy of Massachusetts, Dan McLellan of New York, Michael O’Neil of Ohio, Tim O’Rourke of Massachusetts, Joe Uwazurike of North Carolina, Volodymyr Zakrevskyy, and Eric Zurbrugg of Georgia.
“We took an American Idol-inspired approach to finding some of the best hidden entrepreneurial talent in the U.S.,” said Lynn Martin, of the You Be the VC competition at Bang Ventures. “As a result, we’ve seen an incredible response from people with terrific new ideas and the drive to see them through. We’re excited to move into the next phase of You Be the VC and are looking forward to unveiling the winning ideas in a few short weeks.”

I’ve never hated Sanjaya like some people do, but I didn’t think there was any way he could deliver the best performance of the night. Latin night was tough for everyone though, and I think that Sanjaya was probably the only contestant not to have an off night tonight.
