About Event

WELCOME TO THE BEANPOT OF VENTURES!

​After last year's success, garnering 400+ attendees, we're thrilled to bring back Pitch-A-Thon!

Pitch-A-Thon is an intercollegiate pitch competition hosted by IDEA, Northeastern University’s Official Venture Accelerator. This event spans universities throughout the Greater Boston Area, highlighting innovation, entrepreneurship, and real-world problem-solving from incredible undergraduate founders. Ventures participating this year represent 10 different schools:

  1. Northeastern University

  2. Babson College

  3. Harvard University

  4. Boston University

  5. Hult International Business School

  6. Wesleyan University

  7. Bentley University

  8. Brandeis University

  9. Boston College

  10. Rutgers University

​We know not every young founder can afford to miss classes for investor events, attend networking times, or showcase themselves on a similar playing field in fundraising. Our mission is to Innovate Together, so we Elevate Together.

​We are here to empower young entrepreneurs and connect them to the right resources and networks to continue their success. The prize pool will be divided according to the panel of esteemed judges after pitches, and we hope to additionally provide founders with access to the investor network!

​6:45 PM - Keynote Speaker (Vicente Zavarce, founder of Yummy)
