When
Where
This year, Bear Down & Pitch will have 6 student new venture teams going to Scottsdale, Arizona to showcase their business ventures in front of the Phoenix entrepreneurship community. These “launch-ready” teams have been diligently working on their ventures for the past year, and they are ready to compete for thousands of dollars! Join us on Thursday April 20 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Museum of the West.
Teams of highly motivated students master the conceptual and practical skills needed to turn ideas into ventures, solve real-world problems and serve the needs of real people in society. Thanks to active Phoenix investors and venture capitalists for coming together to get a glimpse of McGuire’s new, innovative business ventures.
Meet the Teams from Last Year!
