Quarterly IdeaPitch Competition

Each quarter, The Business Builders Club runs our signature IdeaPitch Competition. The event is simple: you pitch your idea to our stellar panel of judges, they give you invaluable feedback, and, if you have one of the top three pitches, we’ll cut you a big fat check. We wouldn’t be able to put the event on without our fantastic partners and sponsors.

The Entrepreneurship Spectacular

Entrepreneurship is spectacular. It drives economic growth worldwide and is responsible for the cars we drive, the planes we fly, the smartphones we love, and the beer that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This year, we brought over a dozen entrepreneurs for three panel discussions regarding entrepreneurship, followed by an earth-shattering keynote and a career fair with over a dozen local companies. This event rules.
