Designed to lower the barrier to entrepreneurship, Pitches & Pizza invites aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners to share their ideas in a fun, supportive environment. Attendees can enjoy free pizza while hearing a series of fast-paced, one-minute pitches focused on people’s business ideas. The evening is also interactive, giving attendees the opportunity to vote and help select the top three People’s Choice winners.
“This event is about making entrepreneurship approachable,” said Justin Vannieuwenhoven Chair of the Sheboygan County Innovation Council. “You don’t need a business plan or a polished presentation, just an idea and the willingness to share it.”
There will be cash prizes and community recognition. Participants will compete for a total of $2,000 in cash prizes, including:
- People’s Choice Awards ($1,000 total)
- First Place: $500
- Second Place: $300
- Third Place: $200
Additional awards of up to $1,000 will be presented by the Sheboygan County Innovation Council.
The event is open to all and no experience is required.
