Entrepreneur Society and MBA+ hosts the 9th Annual Pitch Party!
Save the date and location! UT Alumni Center between 6-9pm.
The 9th Annual MBA+ Pitch Party challenges MBA students to “pitch” their best start up idea to mock “investors” who are prominent members of the greater Austin entrepreneurship community and McCombs faculty. Investors are given venture funding (in true monopoly fashion) to back the best ideas that they hear over the course of the evening cocktail event.
(The idea can be real or fictional. You just have to sell it to the mock investors!)
DETAILS:
What: Pitchers win prizes by collecting the most “McCombs Money”.
Drinks and appetizers will be served.
Who: Pitchers – 1st year McCombs MBAs with entrepreneurial ideas
Investors – Alumni, VCs, angels, business leaders, faculty, and 2nd year MBA students
Object: Gain the most investor support in the form of “McCombs Money”
Pitch: A 60-second “elevator pitch” outlining your idea. Be creative! Have fun!
Where: UT Alumni Center, 2110 San Jacinto Blvd. (right across from the football stadium)
When: Thursday, September 23rd, 6-9 p.m.
SPONSORING OPPORTUNITIES: If you are interested in sponsoring this wonderful event, please contact Luke Jones at luke.jones@mba11.mccombs.utexas.edu
