Description
PITCH YOUR STARTUP IDEA. WIN SCHOLARSHIPS. GET FUNDING.
Student-Entrepreneurs: It's time for you to crush it!
Clear your calendar - It's going down! The Titan Fast Pitch Competition kicks off Saturday October 29th, 2016 at 1pm and you're invited! Come compete with or watch the most innovative student-entrepreneurs vie for a spot on the winner's podium, and their share of scholarships. All finalists are chosen in real time.
There are two tracks: one for high school students and another open to all university/college/JC students, not just CSUF students. Competitors better be ready to pitch their concept because they will get multiple chances to pitch their concepts to our elite panel of judges. This first round robin will feature dozens of judges that allows all competitors to give their 60 second pitches multiple times. Don't know how to make a pitch? Watch our video here.
Scores from the first free-for-all round will be tabulated on the spot with the best moving on. Students that survive this free-for-all will have to endure the Lightning Round: an accelerated Q/A panel, administered by Distinguished Judges. (Don't worry, there is a link to the Lightning Round questions below.)
After all questions have been asked and pitches made our judges will determine who the winners will be. Winners will receive scholarships and exposure for their ideas and themselves.
Do you have what it takes?
