Welcome to Rocket Pitch! Every Friday at 1 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 a community dinner and hang out (from 2-5 PM) to discuss their ideas with others, improve those ideas, and learn from professionals.


The Entrepreneurship Hub at Tribe Square 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 Hub boost your idea to the next level.
