Second Annual Defeat the Odds Pitch Competition Hosted by Fetch
At Fetch, we’re all about rewarding bold moves and that includes big ideas. The Defeat the Odds (DTO) Pitch Competition gives students a front-row seat to what it’s like building something real. It’s hands-on, pitch-perfect experience that pushes creativity, courage, and critical thinking.
Inspired by our own founder’s journey
Wes Schroll turned a scrappy college startup into Fetch, America’s Rewards App. DTO is our way of paying that hustle forward.
What’s in store:
🎤 Live pitches from student founders with big dreams
💡 Fresh business ideas judged by industry leaders
🥂 Drinks + hearty apps to fuel your networking
🤝 Real connections with community leaders and Fetch insiders
This isn’t your typical business pitch night, it’s a celebration of the next big thing.
Come get inspired. Come live rewarded.
