Global Impact Pitch Competition

Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service is hosting a Global Impact Pitch Competition, with support from Citi Ventures. The competition features $20,000 in prize money and networking/mentoring opportunities to help winners with implementation.

Ten semi-finalists will be selected and notified by November 12th and asked to give a 2-minute pitch and 5-minute Q&A on November 14 via Zoom, with sympathetic judges who will offer feedback to improve your pitch (this is a dolphin-tank, not Shark Tank). From those, five finalists will be chosen for a live 2-minute pitch at our Awards Ceremony from 6:00 - 8:00 pm on Sunday November 18th in the ICC Galleria. Refreshments will be served there, and a "people's choice" cash-award selected by voice vote, so bring your supporters!

The event is hosted by the Landegger Program in International Business Diplomacy (IBD), with additional support from the Wallenberg Foundation, and student support from Georgetown Ventures (a student-run organization fostering the entrepreneurial community of Georgetown).
