NEW VENTURE
PITCH COMPETITION
Get ready to showcase your innovative ideas in our exciting New Venture Pitch Competition!
The New Venture Pitch Competition is an opportunity to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit within the Loyola community. All current students are invited to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges and compete for prizes.
Inspired by the TV show Shark Tank, this competition invites students to craft a compelling elevator pitch—an engaging summary of your venture that you can deliver in the time it takes to ride an elevator.
Key Components:
Round 1: Submit a 3-minute video detailing your venture through our online application. Our expert panel of judges will review all submissions and select the top finalists based on creativity, impact, and clarity.
Round 2: Finalists will present their pitches live, followed by a Q&A session with our panel. After thorough deliberation, the judges will award prizes to the standout ventures.
