Blackstone LaunchPad at Montana State University Presents
Blackstone LaunchPad At MSU Fall Video Pitch Competition
Show us what you can do in 90 seconds or less #LaunchMSU #StartSomethingMSU
Submit a winning video pitch of a business idea to Blackstone LaunchPad at Montana State University and claim one of three $1,000 prizes. (That’s $40,000 an hour. Not a bad start for your business!)
If you’re a student at MSU or any of its affiliate colleges, we know you’re smart. We know your notes app is filled with ideas for revolutionary business and nonprofit ideas. Now’s your chance to show us. You’ve got a minute and a half to convey the problem, your proposed solution and the potential impact of your idea. You don’t have to be Quentin Tarantino. You just have to be confident and enthusiastic. This contest isn’t based on cinematography. It’s based on content. We want to see your brilliant minds at work, not perfect lighting or sound.
There will be two categories: a general competition and a specialized competition for military women. This includes women veterans, military spouses, active-duty service members, including reservists. Anyone submitting to the military women contest may submit to the general contest as well.
Use hashtags #LaunchMSU #StartSomethingMSU when sharing this contest and your entries.
