Carlsen Center Brings College Pitch Competitions to Campus

on


The Carlsen Center is excited to partner with a number of colleges on-campus to run their own idea and innovation pitch competitions in this year’s College Pitch Competition, beginning the week of November 1! This activity is a creative outlet for students to explore their ideas and begin their entrepreneurial pursuits.

Hosted in the fall of each academic year, the College Pitch Competition allows students to share product ideas, innovative services, or a startup plan at any stage in the entrepreneurial process.

All participants will receive a certificate of participation and the top award winners can win cash prizes ranging from $300 to $1,000! Finalists will be selected on October 27. 

Applications are now closed. If you would like to attend the Student Pitch Competition and support our students, a full schedule of competition events can be found linked below.
