About the Competition: 

The GVSU Idea Pitch Competition provides you 90 seconds to pitch your idea to a panel of West Michigan judges for a chance to win startup capital and the opportunity  to advance to the Regional Idea Pitch Competition at Davenport University on November 3.

An “Idea Pitch” or “Elevator Pitch” is a frequently used term which we interpert as “tell me about your idea in the time it takes to ride up an elevator,” i.e. 90 seconds. Presenting yourself effectively is an essential tool in the world of business, and a well-planned idea pitch can open doors in your future.
