Want to learn more about Social Entrepreneurship? Come to the Social Entrepreneur CrowdPitch!
This event is all about Social Entrepreneurs. We're looking for profit-based social ventures who aim to improve our community. There are two criteria which every pitching company must meet:
1. You must be a viable, profit-based company
2. Your business model must benefit the Utah community by solving local social problems, for example:
- green energy and environmental solutions
- local sustainable agriculture & small-scale agri-products processing
- address social and economic problems using private sector approaches as an alternative or complement to non-profit approaches
- an organization set up to incubate, mentor, and create more for-profit companies run by minority or women entrepreneurs
CrowdPitch is 100% free. Free for the pitching entrepreneurs & free for spectators (oh, and a free meal is provided too). Think ´American Idol´ or ´shark tank´ — 5 to 6 entrepreneurs will have 4 minutes to pitch their company to both a panel of experts & a live audience, followed immediately by a 3-minute Q&A session with the audience. Finally, we unleash the panel of experts to offer up constructive feedback. As you arrive, grab a plate of food and take a seat. We'll give you a moment to eat while you chat with those around you. The pitches will start soon after. The audience chooses the winner by investing 'FUN' money in the venture of their choice.
You can register as a guest or to pitch here.
