Annual P21 VMS Pitch Challenge

The Annual P21 VMS Pitch Challenge is a yearly event designed to showcase innovative entrepreneurs, tech companies, and students with business ideas. We invite passionate individuals and teams to pitch their groundbreaking concepts to a panel of expert judges and industry leaders. 


Event Highlights:


  • Pitch your idea: Present your tech startup to a panel of distinguished judges and investors.
  • Win non-dilutive pre-seed capital: Winners will receive valuable funding towards their presented business idea.
  • Networking opportunities: Connect with potential partners, investors, and mentors to help accelerate your business growth.

PREPARING FOUNDERS TO PITCH

Over the course of five P21 VMS Pitch Prep Sessions, participating ventures received guidance on intellectual property, market analysis, pitch development, and investor readiness in preparation for the 4th Annual P21 VMS Pitch Challenge. During the Pitch Practice & Feedback sessions, more than 20 mentors from industry, entrepreneurship, technology, and business leadership worked directly with founders to review their presentations, provide live feedback, and help strengthen both their pitch delivery and business strategy.
