About this Event

This year's Region 7 pitch competition will be hosted by Indiana State University's Scott College of Business! During the event, ten west central Indiana high school teams who have been carefully selected out of hundreds of competitors will share their innovative pitches and business ideas.

We will be joined by government officials, business leaders, local innovators, educators, and family as the students pitch their businesses and compete to be one of the top ten teams in the state. The winning team will move on to compete at the STARTedUP Challenge Finals on June 12th. That top team will also travel for STARTedUP's INnovation Tour, receive thousands of dollars in scholarships, enter an exclusive alumni program, and pitch for the chance to win the first place prize of $25,000.

Top ten teams to be announced soon!

Register today to support and experience these amazing young people and future entrepreneurs! More event details can be found at: startedupfoundation.org/region-7
