The Fast Pitch Competition at Startup Fest '26

Join us during Startup Fest ’26 to verbally pitch your business idea (no presentation slides) in 2 minutes or less for a chance to win $500!

It’s simple — show up at 11:15 a.m. to compete. Pitch order will be assigned on a first come/first served basis.

All Drexel Students are encouraged to compete, no matter their major or school of study.

Register to compete by noon on November 5. Due to the popularity of this competition, walk ups will not be able to compete — competitors must pre-register.

Want to practice your pitch? Join us on October 20 at 5 p.m. for A Pitch Perfect Pitch Clinic.
