Pitching to Win Spring 2026

Every successful venture starts with a story that sticks. 

In this action-oriented session, you’ll learn how to craft and deliver a high-impact pitch that captures attention, builds credibility, and inspires belief especially in early-stage settings like the New Venture Competition (NVC). Through proven storytelling frameworks and examples tailored to NVC judging criteria, you’ll develop a compelling narrative that clearly articulates your problem, solution, market opportunity, and traction. You’ll also gain insight into what makes a pitch stand out to judges and mentors while you're presenting live and participating in Q&A. 

Whether you're just starting to shape your idea or preparing for NVC Round 2, this session will give you the tools and confidence to pitch with clarity, purpose, and authenticity.
