2nd Session added to Pitch Competition!!

Monday night was a great time at the CCEI Startup Challenge Pitch Competition – in fact, we ran out of time before everyone had their turn to pitch!  So, we have scheduled a second session to allow everyone who showed up last night the opportunity to pitch their idea, but also if you were unable to attend on Monday, this will provide you one last opportunity to participate in this fun event.  We hope to see you there!

4/9/14, 6:00pm
UConn Storrs Campus
GENTRY 131 (School of Education Building – DIFFERENT LOCATION)
**Pizza, refreshments, and soda provided** 

The CCEI Startup Challenge Pitch Competition is the first  of two events that comprise the CCEI Startup Challenge initiative.  At the Pitch Competition,$10,000 in prize money (ten $1000 prizes) will be awarded to individuals or teams across multiple categories.  Individuals or teams can pitch more than one idea, and you could win in more than one category.  This competition is open to all UConn Students (all majors, levels, campuses), and the idea can be for anything – we encourage you to get creative!  Five of the prize categories are listed below; the other five will be revealed at the event. Pitches will be limited to 90 seconds and will be followed by up to two minutes of Q&A.  Have an idea?  Pitch it!
