Curious to learn about the innovative entrepreneurial initiatives led by UNC students?

Don’t miss the Joan & Chester Luby Pitch Competition, where student teams will vie for a chance to win $95,000 in cash prizes in front of our esteemed panel of judges.

These student teams have been through the 1789 Student Venture Fund, where their venture applications were reviewed by 20 UNC faculty and community members. After being invited in to the Joan & Chester Luby Pitch Competition, students met with mentors and prepared video pitches for our judges to review. They will be presenting their pitch for you, the live audience, on April 23rd!

The live audience will have a chance to vote for the Viewer’s Choice award to select your favorite team.
