Ten Finalists Come Out Swingin' at the Pace Pitch!

$50,000 in just three minutes. On December 3, 10 finalists will pitch their hearts out for some start-up dough at the 6th annual Pace Pitch Contest.

About 149 students from 36 schools applied for the 10 finalist slots to compete in the New Business Concept and Social Venture categories. The top 10 have been chosen, and each one is more interesting than the rest! Will Tears for Life, a company that is developing a tear-test kit to screen women for breast cancer, take home the New Business Concept prize, or will new local search engine, Seva Cell?

Be there to cheer on your Pace peers. RSVP for the cheering section!
