The pitch contest gives participants, who will be competing for cash and exposure, 90 seconds to present their idea to a panel of judges and an audience, with the format drawing from the concept of “the time you’d have to share an elevator ride with a potential investor,” according to organizers.
Participants will be judged on presenting a clearly defined problem and solution, financial potential, having an executable plan and the overall quality of their pitch.
Applications will remain open through Nov. 4 and can be submitted through Eventbrite. Attendance is free and open to the public.
