About this Event
Join us to watch student founders take to the stage for a night of game-changing ideas and winning big!
This competition is all about shaking up the game, pushing boundaries, and never settling. Come see if the next generation of industry leaders have what it takes to break the mold.
The Freed Family Pitch Competition is UT Austin's largest and most prestigious undergraduate pitch competition. Hosted by the Herb Kelleher Entrepreneurship Center, this event offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for experiential learning, where student teams can pitch their startups in a high-stakes environment, competing for $65k in cash and prizes.
Beyond the financial rewards, participants gain invaluable insights from seasoned entrepreneurs, receive personalized feedback on their business strategies, and build lasting connections within the Texas entrepreneurial ecosystem. The competition not only recognizes groundbreaking ideas but also empowers the next generation of innovators to turn their visions into reality.
At The University of Texas at Austin, we believe that what starts(up) here changes the world!
