Pitch Competitions
All students are invited to apply in our Spring and Fall competitions. Application Dates will be announced soon.
Business Pitch Competition
The Fall Business Pitch Competition took place on November 7, 2025
In this fast-paced, Shark Tank-style event, students have just 60 seconds to deliver a compelling elevator pitch to a panel of judges. With thousands of dollars in cash prizes on the line, participants must quickly and persuasively communicate their business idea, highlight its potential impact, and leave a lasting impression—all in under a minute!
Venture Competition
The Spring Venture Competition will take place on April 1, 2026. The application will open in March.
In this high-stakes competition, students have five minutes to present a detailed pitch of their business to a panel of judges. Unlike an elevator pitch, participants dive deeper into their business model, target market, revenue streams, and long-term vision. Students must also submit a comprehensive Business Model Canvas, providing a visual overview of their value proposition, key partners, activities, customer relationships, and more. This is a chance to showcase not just the idea but the strategy and scalability behind it!
Buntin Creative Pitch Competition
The Buntin Pitch Competition will take place on April 8, 2026. The application will open in March.
This dynamic competition is designed for students with creative businesses in industries like music, the arts, photography, design, and more. Participants have five minutes to deliver an in-depth pitch, showcasing their business’s unique vision, creative process, and market potential. It’s an opportunity to highlight how their artistic talents drive innovation and value, all while competing for cash prizes and expert feedback!
