Join our 90-second elevator pitch competition — literally. Step into our faux elevator, pitch your big idea, and wow the judges when the doors open.

Wednesday, November 19 | 4 - 8 p.m. | SU 340

Contestants will be given 90-seconds to pitch their business or product idea in front of a panel of judges to win up to $3,800! The use of note cards or presentation tools will not be allowed, so practice your elevator pitch! The use of props, however, will be allowed. Students will walk out of a faux elevator onto a platform to give their pitch. Judges will score each individual pitch and select a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner in both categories: General and Technology. This is your chance to win some money for your current or future business. Apply today! The deadline to apply is Tuesday, November 11th!
