INCUBATOR FINAL PITCH NIGHT

The Business Incubator program at Saint Patrick, now in its fourth year, offers students an authentic entrepreneurship experience and opportunity to create and fully develop their own product or service. Real entrepreneurs and business experts serve as volunteer coaches and mentors guiding student teams through the processes of developing business concepts, and testing and adapting them. The program also includes foundational business topics such as marketing, finance, sales and operations.

The Final Pitch Night, marking the end of the yearlong course, “pivoted” from a live event scheduled on May 7^th in the Theatre to prerecorded presentations submitted by the business teams and judged by the Board of Advisors (BOA).

In addition to the top award from the Board of Advisors (BOA), we introduced a People’s Choice Award this year to give the Saint Patrick community an opportunity to select their favorite business idea.

Here is the announcement of the People’s Choice Award Recognition and Incubator Innovation Idea Award Winner.
