Big Gig Pitch-Off Finale 2026

The Big Gig Finale for 2026 will be held at the Dexter Lounge in the newly renovated Alfond Arena at the University of Maine. Enjoy some cocktails, delicious appetizers, and networking and then the entrepreneurs take the stage to pitch their innovative startup.

Two of the entrepreneurs received a spot by winning a regular-season Big Gig Pitch-Off, and the other two entrepreneurs gained entry by being voted the "wild card" entries! These four entrepreneurs will pitch their innovative, early-stage businesses to our panel of judges and the audience. Our audience and judges will then get to cast votes for their favorite entrepreneur to determine which one will walk away with $5000! Hope to see you there supporting Maine's entrepreneurial community!
