DETROIT, MI, USA, April 21, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Diet ID, a digital health SaaS company focused on making diet a vital sign, continues to earn market recognition within the startup and health tech ecosystem. Two recent wins illustrate the rapid growth and strong market potential for Diet ID.

Diet ID was the overall winner of the Techcrunch Detroit City Spotlight Pitch-off on Thursday, April 15th. The event brought together investors, startups, and community members to dive into growing a startup ecosystem in Detroit, followed by a pitch competition. Diet ID competed against other Detroit-area finalists in a pitch-off, judged by local investors from Invest Michigan, TechTown, and Invest Detroit, and won.

Diet ID also was selected as a finalist to receive funding from the Michigan State University (MSU) Student Venture Capital Fund (SVCF).
