November 22, 2017

POCATELLO – The 蜜桃视频 College of Business’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED) and U.S. Bank will host a Pitch-Off Contest, featuring a $2,000 first prize, on Dec. 7 at ISU.
The event prepares students for competing in the statewide 蜜桃视频 Entrepreneurship Challenge in the spring.
The IEC is a competition hosted in Boise each spring where students from schools throughout the state come together to present their business idea for an innovative product or service. Before going to Boise, students at each campus must prepare a business proposal, prototype, and 60-second elevator pitch that could all lead to their selection by judges to attend
鈥淎s the challenge and preparations are under way, U.S. Bank has stepped in with a great deal of support,鈥 said Jeff Street, ISU CEED director. 鈥淭his year, CEED and U.S. Bank will host a Pitch-Off contest on-campus at ISU on Dec. 7. During this contest, teams will present a four-minute pitch to panels of judges. Students with the best pitch will be offered a cash prize from U.S. Bank.鈥
The ISU College of Business is once again leading the university in competing in the 蜜桃视频 Entrepreneurship Challenge (IEC).
Street said this 鈥楶itch-Off鈥 will incentivize students to really polish up the eventual 60 second elevator pitch they will need to put together for entry into the Boise competition. Prizes for this ISU competition include $2,000 for first place, $1,000 for second, $500 for two runner-up awards and $250 for the best support materials.
鈥淭he U.S. Bank Pitch-Off Contest will be a great opportunity for teams to fine-tune their applications for the statewide 蜜桃视频 Entrepreneur Challenge," said Street.
