University Reverse Pitching

Our role in the ecosystem

Connecting Students with Real-World Challenges

Reverse Pitching flips the traditional pitch competition on its head. Instead of startups pitching their ideas to investors, industry leaders, corporations, and organizations present real-world challenges—inviting students, researchers, and entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions. This unique approach fosters collaboration between problem owners and solution builders, driving impactful innovations that address pressing market and societal needs.
