Student Entrepreneurs Take the Spotlight at Final Pitch Night

After a year of hard work, creativity, and collaboration, Saint Viator’s INCubatoredu students are ready to present their start-up ideas at the annual Final Pitch Night on Thursday, May 8, at 6:30 p.m. in Jeuck Auditorium.

Throughout this year-long entrepreneurship course, students developed original product or service concepts, built business models, and prepared to pitch their ideas to a panel of investors in a Shark Tank-style event.

This year’s innovative proposals include a fruit freshness sticker, a cardboard collection service, a healthy hydration product, a hair styling tool for men, and a one-stop online marketplace for women.

Final Pitch Night is open to the public—all are welcome to attend and support our student entrepreneurs as they compete for real funding to help bring their visions to life.

We are grateful to the advisors and mentors who supported our students throughout the program. Thank you for generously offering your time, insight, and expertise to our community!
