The miniPITCH event will be on Tuesday, November 15th at The Spoke in UCC. Contestants must pitch in person. Contestant pitching order will be determined through a random draw day of.
There is no guarantee that you will have the opportunity to pitch as there are a limited number of slots. If your name is drawn and you are not in attendance, a new name will be drawn. We will keep drawing names until the entire pot has been awarded.
Pitch-ers will have 3 minutes to pitch and judges will deliberate on the spot to determine if the candidate receives the funding. Students should anticipate a 2 minute question period from judges after the pitch. Note that slides are not allowed, and we will be timing you!
We can’t wait to see all the amazing ideas you’re working on. Good luck!
