PitchIt! 鈥� A student societies鈥� entrepreneurship competition
Applications are now open for the PitchIt! competition, a dynamic collaboration between the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre (MEC) and UoM鈥檚 Students鈥� Union. Join to elevate your society's impact with up to 拢1250 in funding and develop lifelong entrepreneurial skills!
In 2020, the University of Manchester Masood Entrepreneurship Centre (MEC) and Students鈥� Union came together to discuss how to promote entrepreneurship and help students build an entrepreneurial mindset.
Alongside mentorship and support for students looking to launch businesses, projects, and events, an important outcome was PitchIt! - a student societies鈥� entrepreneurship competition.
PitchIt! is ideal for students who are driven to develop their entrepreneurial skills, strategic thinking, and network with like-minded individuals.
Societies are encouraged to form an innovative project team to develop a proposal to win up to 拢1,250 from a 拢6,000 prize pot to help support projects and initiatives that will generate income for their society and expand impact.
All societies that submit an entry must be registered with the University of Manchester Students鈥� Union. These societies will benefit from a valuable Pitching workshop session, following which 10 societies will be shortlisted who will have to attend a closed 鈥楶ractice Your Pitch鈥� session. The PitchIt! Finals will be an open event where our 10 finalists will face off and winners will be announced!
