NI16 Pitch Competition

Come listen to eight emerging social entrepreneurs pitch their ideas at the first Net Impact Pitch Competition. They will have four minutes to convince a panel of expert judges and the audience that they are pioneering the next world-changing idea. As an attendee, you’ll have a chance to pick your favorite, and you’ll leave this competition inspired, and just maybe, with the motivation to launch your own social venture.
