Westlake High School Pitch Night 2019
The Schedule
6:30-7pm Come Early to see the Wild Card Teams and Vote for one to present
7-8:30pm Formal Pitches to Investors
Over 100 Westlake High School students have formed teams and have been testing their business concepts all year.
How Pitch Night Works: The Top four teams are pre-selected to present to professional investors on May 24th, as well as one Wild Card Team, voted on at Pitch Night. Investors judge the teams that merit funding and teams are invited to enroll in next Fall's Incubator Accelerator course to start their business.
From 6:30-7pm, all Wild Card Teams get one more shot to become a finalist and formally present to investors at Pitch Night. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear these team's informal pitches and then vote for their favorite. The winning team will then join the four pre-selected teams and compete for funding.
**Must be present to vote for wild card teams
