Idea Pitch Competition

The Idea Pitch Competition is subject to specific rules and requirements. The judges follow rules and rubrics to determine the competitor or team with the best business plan.
In this competition, the students participate in a “Shark Tank” – style event. The students may enter the competition as an individual or as a team. Each competitor will have 10-15 minutes to present a business idea in a pre-elaborated Business Plan, before a panel of judges followed by a round of questions and answers.
This event takes place the last Friday during the Spring semester ONLY.
