The 3-2-1 QuickPitch Competition is an annual event for students where they are able to showcase their entrepreneurial, communication and presentation skills through a short “quick pitch” proposal for a new business venture. Competitors will have 3 minutes 2 pitch 1 idea. A panel of entrepreneurial-minded experts from across Nebraska will judge proposals and provide students with valuable feedback. Students will also have the opportunity to develop their ideas, network with other students and successful entrepreneurs and community leaders. Cash prizes awarded to the top three pitches in each of the seven groups. QuickPitch takes place on the club level (3rd floor) of Memorial Stadium.
This year we will offer 2 editions of the QuickPitch Competition. First, the collegiate Quick Pitch Competition and Nebraska Entrepreneurship Awards. This event is open to undergraduate and graduate students from two-year and four-year colleges. Second, and in its inaugural year, is an all High School QuickPitch Competition. This event is open to participants from Nebraska high schools and follows the same format as the Collegiate event.
