Pitch in the Pit

Got a Big Idea? Pitch It to the Vice Chancellor for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development.

Ever had a genius idea in the shower, during a boring lecture, or at 2am with your roommates and thought "someone should actually build this"? You're that someone.

Join us at The Pit on October 22, from 2:00–4:00 PM for a chance to pitch your business idea directly to Vice Chancellor Tommy Sowers. No suits required, no boardrooms, no gatekeeping. Just Tar Heels with ideas and a VC who wants to hear them.

Whether it's an app, a startup, a campus hack, a wild sustainability idea, or the next big Carolina brand, bring your pitch, your energy, and your Carolina blue confidence.
