CMU Innovation & Entrepreneurship Pitch Fest

When: Monday, November 30th

Where: In person + Zoom

What are CMU’s next generation of entrepreneurs building?

On November 30, student teams from 67-428: Innovation & Entrepreneurship will showcase the startups they’ve developed throughout the semester at the course’s culminating Pitch Fest.

The teams have spent the semester taking early-stage ideas and developing them into startup concepts—conducting customer discovery and market research, developing business models and products, exploring go-to-market strategies, and thinking through how these companies could be funded and scaled.

At Pitch Fest, each team will deliver a 5-minute startup pitch followed by Q&A with a panel of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders.

The event is open to the broader CMU community—including students, faculty, alumni, entrepreneurs, investors, and friends of the university—and can be attended in person or via Zoom.

Come see the ideas, companies, and founders emerging from CMU.
