The First Pitch
Event Info
One idea. One minute. One slide. One Hundred Dollars.
Throw out your idea! Mid-State Technical College and University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) students are invited to participate in an idea contest. This in-person event will be a low stakes early opportunity for future entrepreneurs and leaders to share a proposed solution to a business or community challenge.
Five participants will walk away with $100.
How it works?
The rules are simple. Create a single PowerPoint slide that shares the following:
- State your problem
- State your solution
- State your client
- State your why
