Students with fully formed plans for launching a business, and those who have recently launched,  will have the opportunity to pitch to seasoned entrepreneurs for a share of $15,000 in cash for their business.  

Five businesses will give a eight-minute presentation about their company, followed by four minutes of Q&A from a panel of experienced judges.  After deliberation, the panel of judges will determine which teams will be allocated a portion of the funding based on the viability of their business and the quality of their presentation. Thousands of dollars in funding will be determined and then announced at the reception. Free food for all!

Who will have the best pitch?  What great ideas are students working on?  Is there a company that I'd like to join?  Come and be a part of the audience to find out and cast your vote for the Audience Choice award!

A reception and awards ceremony will follow the presentations.  Prize awards for each team will be announced at the reception. This competition is open to any Ithaca College student in any program at any level.  For those interested in additional assistance, office hours are available from Business School Faculty.  To be added to the mailing list and to sign up for office hours, please contact csmith27@ithaca.edu
