PITCH IT!
Got an idea you've been thinking about? A side hustle or class project that could become something bigger? A business you've just started? Or maybe it's still just a scribble in your notes app.
Pitch It is a casual pitch night where Mount Royal students can test an idea, receive supportive feedback, and connect with other students who love building things.
No business plan or experience required. Just bring your idea and a 3 to 5 minute pitch, with or without slides.
🎤 Want to pitch?
Pitch spots are limited to 10 students and are first come, first served.
The sign-up board opens in the Slate Innovation Lab at 4:30 PM on the day of the event. Once all 10 spots are filled, additional students will be added to a waitlist if space becomes available.
Not ready to pitch? Come cheer on your classmates, meet other students with ideas, and see what people are building.
