2016 Rocket Pitch

The 17th annual event showcases Babson (students and alumni), Olin College of Engineering and Wellesley College entrepreneurs who are invited to pitch their business ideas to a large audience of students, faculty, entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers.

Each entrepreneur is given three minutes and three PowerPoint slides to quickly and succinctly deliver the critical differentiating elements of their business ideas.

Pitches happen in rapid succession in multiple rooms.

Presenters can’t answer questions during their pitch, so an open networking reception follows the event, allowing audience members to connect with the entrepreneurs directly.
