Open Pitch Week is a semi-annual event that provides student entrepreneurs from all parts of ASU and the Maricopa Community Colleges an opportunity to pitch their ideas, receive feedback, connect with other students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation, and compete for a crowd-favorite award of $250 to use toward further developing your idea. Participating in Open Pitch provides an opportunity to improve your storytelling and approach to innovation. Whether you have an idea for a for-profit, nonprofit, creative, or social enterprise/social impact innovation to make the world a better place, Open Pitch Week is for you!
Open Pitch events are open to anyone to attend, but you must be a current ASU or Maricopa Community College student to pitch an idea and compete for the crowd-favorite prize. Students can pitch in multiple Open Pitch events, but will only be eligible to win the crowd-favorite prize once throughout the week. All Open Pitch events will be held virtually via Zoom.
Pitch Details:
- Each student will have two minutes to pitch their idea (You must be a current ASU or Maricopa Community College student to pitch)
- There will not be access to display any PowerPoint slides or other presentation materials. This is strictly an audible pitch only given the 2-minute quick pitch format.
- If five or more students participate by pitching, there will be a prize of $250 for the crowd-favorite
- You do not have to pitch to attend; all audience members are eligible to vote once for the crowd-favorite
