Entrepreneurship Students Take on Final Pitch Night

This week, the INCubatoredu class showed off their hard work at Final Pitch Night. Four teams presented their business ideas to a panel of sharks who had some challenging questions about competition, marketing, patenting, and overall product viability.

A special congratulations goes out to the winning team for their product, Splash Beverages, “an energy drink made from ingredients that you can pronounce.”

David Lyons guided students from concept to business plan in the fourth year of the program. With the support of a group of 20 advisors and mentors, he provided them with an experience that surpasses a traditional entrepreneurship class and serves as a great foundation to apply to college business programs.
