How to Bring University of Michigan's 1000 Pitches to Your Campus
Introduction
1000 pitches is an annual entrepreneurial competition based at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. The competiton requires students of the university to submit their ideas or pitches in a video format of 30 second - 3 Minute length. The pitches are filed under 1 of 9 available categories. The topics range from mobile apps to univesity improvements. The organization was started by students at the University of Michigan to create more awareness on campus about innovationa and entrepreneurship. The goal is to allow students of all areas of study to come together and speak their mind about different topics and release any ideas they may have. The competiton looks to award student organizations and inviduals involved with funding through a judgment of each individual pitch. The competiton is now also being held at Pennsylvania State University.
