Welcome to Rocket Pitch! Every Friday at 2 PM, up to 5 students* can pitch their ideas in front of other students and entrepreneurs. A select few judges will analyze ideas based on the quality of research done in the following fields:


The Problem - What problem does your business address?

Market Research - What is the target market for your business, and how large is that market?

Competition - Who are the competitors to your business? What are their strengths and weaknesses?

Solution - What is your unique solution to the problem?


The pitcher with the most compelling research will take home $100, but everyone wins; after the event, pitchers and other students can stay for co-working hours (from 3-5 PM) to discuss their ideas with others, improve those ideas, and learn from professionals.

The Entrepreneurship Center is dedicated to providing students with the tools they need to make their ideas a reality. So drop by, enjoy some free food, take time to learn from others, and let the Center boost your idea to the next level!

*Anyone can come to Rocket Pitch; but if you want to be a pitcher, RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/y33mf8ku
