Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be a resident of the community that the program is in to participate?

A: You should live in or near the community where the program is being offered, even if it is held virtually.

What do I say in my pitch?

A: With only 2.5 minutes to present an idea, entrepreneurs need to keep their pitch high-level and concise. EforAll hosts free Pitch Contest workshops to help entrepreneurs prepare for their pitch presentation. As each pitch is only 2.5 minutes, it is important to know what judges are (and are not).

Who provides feedback?

A: All applicants will receive feedback from EforAll volunteers who review each application and help the EforAll staff make participant decisions. Those who pitch at the event will also receive real-time feedback from onsite judges.

Who are the judges?

A: EofAll judges come from all industries and are considered leaders in the local community. Their job is to provide all pitchers with valuable feedback about how they can move their business forward but they also decide who wins prize money.

What if I am not selected to pitch but I am selected to set up a table at the event?

A: Tabling is a great way to present a business idea to attendees as it offers a great opportunity to make connections. In fact, EforAll has had participants start partnerships and even land their first customers during a Pitch Contest.

Can I really win money?

A: Yes. Anyone who pitches is eligible to win some cash money. The judges will award three cash prizes while the audience votes on who will get the fourth cash prize.
