First Year Fast Pitch Competition

In 2023, the event formerly known as the InnovationQuest Elevator Pitch Competition, or IQ-E, was revamped into First Year Fast Pitch: a two-minute, deck-free challenge pitched to star judges for first year students only. Teams pitch with product and service ideas that range from entertainingly marketable to truly impactful. The 2025 competition will be held on April 10th @ 4:30PM at the Lindner College of Business Goering Hall...

Pitches include the following:

• Problem you're trying to solve
• Solution you give
• Market Opportunity
• Business Model (how do you plan on making money)
• Your Team/Your Expertise
• What are your next steps?

For any questions, please contact Josie Dalton at daltonji@ucmail.uc.edu.
