Do you have a problem you’re passionate about solving? And the inkling of an idea of how to solve it?

Come along to our Open Pitch Night on 14th October for your chance to pitch for £200 funding towards your next step to test your idea – whether that’s market research, building a prototype, buying equipment for testing, incentives for customer research, marketing etc.

Come prepared with a 90-second pitch and share your idea with our judges and live audience. It's fun and low-stakes, so no slides required. Everyone who pitches will receive feedback and support to take their idea forwards. There are 30 pitching slots and 10x £200 prizes available!

And if you don’t have an idea but want to watch some compelling pitches, then come along to support!

Food and drinks will be available, alongside a chance to network with other like-minded people if you’re looking for a team to work on your idea, or want to join a team.

Email ei@kcl.ac.uk with any questions.

**The 30 pitching slots are open to all King's students, staff and alumni. Your idea cannot be revenue-generating and you cannot have won money from the Entrepreneurship Institute previously towards the same idea. Teams can have a max of two people pitching.

Upon arrival those who have indicated they would like to pitch will be given a raffle ticket at our registration desk. If your name/number is called, you'll take to the stage!
