BizPitch

Biz Pitch is your opportunity to win up to $2,600 to help develop your new venture!

On November 18th, 2026, Biz Pitch finalists will make a 90-second pitch about their business idea to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs and investors at the Toaster Innovation Hub. Not only will they have the chance to win cash prizes, but they will also receive valuable feedback from those who have been in their shoes before. Previous participants have successfully raised capital and launched their business ideas through this event. 

This opportunity is open to all undergraduate students currently enrolled at the University of Minnesota to apply.
