About this Event

Come and support our seniors in the 11th Annual SOBE Business Pitch Night, presented by our title sponsor, the Cleveland Research Company. Join us for an exciting evening of innovation and entrepreneurship at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy. Get ready to witness some of the brightest minds looking to enter the business world as they pitch their entrepreneurial ideas.

Students have been working for over 4 months developing their businesses from idea to prototype and proof of concept. The innovative student teams and student entrepreneurs will now get the chance to present their businesses to a panel of professional judges, representing our various sponsors, for a chance at cash prizes and a business scholarship.

The event will be held in CVCA's Anne Tell Chapel with space to network in the Rasnick Center before and after the event. The student entrepreneurs who chose the startup track will have booths in the Rasnick Center for you to visit, giving audience members the opportunity to hear their elevator pitches and vote on the Best Startup. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., and the event will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m.
