Incubatoredu Students to Showcase Innovative Startups at Final Pitch Night

The community is invited to attend Incubatoredu Final Pitch Night on May 11, 2026, at North Campus Reber Center, where student entrepreneurs will present their original business ventures after a year of hands-on development and one team will walk away with $1,500.

The evening will begin with an entrepreneur showcase at 5:30pm, followed by final pitches at 6:00pm, as student teams present their ideas to a panel of investors for the opportunity to secure seed funding.

The Incubatoredu program is a dynamic, experiential entrepreneurship course that empowers students to build real businesses from the ground up. Throughout the year, participants collaborate in teams to identify problems, develop viable solutions, and refine their concepts with guidance from experienced mentors and industry professionals.

Final Pitch Night represents the culmination of months of research, testing, and iteration. Attendees will experience a diverse range of ventures from innovative apps to practical consumer products demonstrating creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking. Vote on your favorite team to be our wild card winner to earn the opportunity to be a part of the final four pitches on stage. And, explore opportunities to support the program as a mentor, coach, or judge.

Community support plays a critical role in bringing these student ventures to life. Contributions help provide essential funding and resources, enabling young entrepreneurs to transform their ideas into real-world businesses. Supporting Incubatoredu is an investment in the future of innovation and economic growth within the community.

This event offers a unique opportunity to witness the power of student entrepreneurship and celebrate the achievements of emerging business leaders.
