49er iChallenge Idea Pitch, Fall 2019
We had 13 teams pitch their ideas on how they wanted to make a difference. Whether it was starting a student organization, implementing a campus program, or launching a business - this was their opportunity to get in front of those who could help launch their ideas. The 49er iChallenge Idea Pitch is a great way to get your foot in the door with campus entrepreneurship. Many of our previous participants go on to be 49er Foundry members and recognized in the community. For more on events- past and upcoming- click here!
