WORK TO BE COMPLETED
You will participate in a collegiate level pitch competition and complete all the steps necessary to apply and pitch in the event.

In the collegiate level pitch competition, you will complete a series of deliverables showing a deep and thorough understanding of your business or idea for a new venture. You will leverage skills within the Entrepreneurial Mindset, such as creative confidence, proactiveness and solution seeking, to ensure your success.
