About THE PITCH workshop

THE PITCH was designed to help aspiring founders understand how to sell, market and pitch an early-stage venture. Sessions on the day included talks from the podium, panel discussions with guests from industry and finance, and an entrepreneurship summit and startup pitch fest introducing participants to investors.

The workshop opened with the traditional lighting of the lamp, followed by keynote addresses and the felicitation of guests with saplings and mementos. The auditorium was filled with students and faculty — a reminder of how much appetite there is for practical, industry-led learning on campus.
