Where Student Founders Pitch for Funding to Fuel Their Venture Creations

Eureka! Pitch Nights are the live showcase for validated student ventures of the Eureka! Student Venture Program. 

This is your chance to present your business concept, product, or solution to a supportive audience and a panel of seasoned mentors, unlocking crucial grant-based funding and personalized mentorship opportunities.

You’re not pitching against others—you’re pitching for your own growth.

Interested in Pitching? Eligibility:

To make sure you are pitch-ready and set up for success at Pitch Night, all student founders must first attend a Eureka! Idea Bounce and a Customer Discovery Workshop.

  • Idea Bounce is your chance to validate your idea, get essential feedback, and demonstrate that you're prepared to take the stage and unlock the next level of support. These workshops are held Mondays at Noon and Tuesdays at 4 PM.
  • The Customer Discovery Workshop will ensure you’re ready to pitch your idea for funding. Scheduling for these workshops opens up after you've completed an Idea Bounce. 
     

While we encourage you to attend our regular workshops, we offer flexible options. If you can't find a time that works, you are welcome to schedule a one-on-one meeting with the Director of the Baker Institute.

Register for Eureka!

What to expect:

  • Live student pitches from Eureka! Student Founders
  • Feedback from expert judges, mentors and peers
  • Fellowship funding opportunities
