More than $5,000 is up for grabs in this year’s Pitch Competition, where Northwood students present a business idea to win start-up funding.

Students can pitch their idea individually or as a team, and there will be support along the way in the form of workshops and drop-in working sessions.

The competition will take place Thursday, March 7th at 6pm. Students will have five minutes to present their idea. Technology will be available for students to display slide decks.

Prizes are as follows: $3,000 for 1st place; $2,000 for 2nd place; and $1,000 for third place. The prize money is to be used to further the winning business ideas.
