Submit Pitch for Entreclub's $500 Elevator Pitch Competition

The Entreclub $500 Elevator Pitch Competition helps replicate the situation where an entrepreneur needs to communicate his/her business plan or concept to potential investor/donor, but he/she only has a short time to convince the person, i.e. an elevator ride. The objective of the pitch is to intrigue the potential investor/donor so that he/she will give you permission to call/email them with more information about your business.

The goal of the competition is to learn how to communicate any idea in a short time. The individual or team with the best elevator pitch will win $500 and receives a spot in the Regional Elevator Pitch Competition with the opportunity to win up to $1,000.
