Imagine you are riding up the elevator at an office tower in New York City and Donald Trump just steps in. This is your chance, you have 90 seconds to pitch that brilliant business idea you have been thinking about. What would you say?
All University of Minnesota undergraduate students are invited to bring their 90-second business pitch idea on Thursday April 17th, for a chance to win $800 in cash prizes!
WHAT IS IT?...
The University of Minnesota Entrepreneurship Club and Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship are proud to present the third annual BizPitch Competition. This competition is the featured event of the spring semester and presents undergraduate students with an opportunity to pitch their business idea to a panel of judges for a chance to win $800 in cash prizes.
Elevator pitch is a frequently used term, which literally means “explain your business opportunity within the time it takes to ride up an elevator.” Presenting yourself effectively is an essential tool in life and in business. A well-planned elevator pitch helps you focus on the critical elements of a business idea and can open the doors to success in your future endeavors.
The competition is a high energy, super-charged lunch hour event that will have students laughing, cheering and jumping from their seats! It is a fun way to showcase your creativity, presentation skills, business knowledge and engage the audience in your idea by making a clever 90 second presentation to a panel of entrepreneurs and investors. Plus, the audience will get into the action by voting for the Overall People's Choice Champion who will take home $100.
The goal of the competition is to encourage students to develop potential ideas to pursue your entrepreneurial passions. Past student participants have gone on to launch successful businesses and receive funding through the Holmes Center. It is one of many Entrepreneurship Club events over the year and serves as a way to invite talented students from across campus into the entrepreneurship community here at the U of M.
