About
The PITCH IT GBC! competition is designed to provide seed funding to support aspiring entrepreneurs in developing and pitching their business/social innovation ideas. Participants have an opportunity to win a portion of the $12,000 prize fund. Two streams of the PITCH IT GBC! competition will occur simultaneously:
- Stream 1: For-profit business and
- Stream 2: Social Innovation Enterprises
Social Innovation enterprises can include not-for-profit or for-profit entities. In addition, for-profit businesses can apply for both streams if their product offering covers social innovation. Applications can be submitted by solo entrepreneurs or multi-founder teams. Prizes will be awarded once per business/social innovation pitch and not per team member.
