The annual New Venture Competition (NVC) is a multi-round pitch competition that gives early-stage startups a chance to win up to $15,000! The NVC is appropriate for ventures of any kind including tech, consumer, creative, or social impact.
The NVC runs two parallel tracks:
1. Tech ideas: Businesses whose primary motive is profits includes for-profit products/services, media, fintech, medtech, etc. (*Note: This could include creative/arts ideas.)
2. Social impact ideas: Businesses whose primary motive is social impact and includes not for profits. (*Note: This could include creative/arts ideas.)
How Pitch&Pizza works:
Current students get 60 seconds to pitch your idea (no slides!) to a panel of judges and community audience! At each Pitch & Pizza, three winning teams will be determined by the judges and move on to Round 2.
*Note: In order to pitch at Pitch & Pizza, you must attend one Monthly Idea Night.
