Students with fully formed plans for launching a business, and those who have recently launched, will have the opportunity to pitch to seasoned entrepreneurs.

Six businesses will give a ten-minute presentation about their company, followed by five 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.

Who will have the best plans? 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. Auditions for this event are on April 17th, for more information please contact bizidea@ithaca.edu.
