Minority Pitch Night

Do you have a great business idea? Want to network with Minority Entrepreneurs? Want to win a cash prize? Join us for a pitch competition with $2,000 worth of prizes! The competition will be at the UCA Welcome Center. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., pitches start at 6:30 p.m. Come pitch your new business, network, eat, and have fun!

You can attend as a contestant or an attendee. 

Contestants: Open to entrepreneurs, innovators, and dreamers who want to share any business idea for a chance to win $1,000! Rules - You have 60 seconds to pitch your idea, no more. No slides. No notes. Only one contestant can speak per pitch. Only one pitch per contestant. 

Attendees: Open to anyone! Bring your co-founders, friends, family, fiancé – anyone! Just have them sign up as an audience member! (Attendees vote for the $1,000 People’s Choice Prize).

There will be two winners. The audience will select the People’s Choice. The Judges will select the Judges’ Choice. Each winner will receive a $1,000 check.

Yes, that’s right. We’re giving away a total of $2,000! 

We will have a virtual option for audience members who live far away, feel more comfortable at home, or can't find a babysitter!
