From the outside, what happened in the Farmer School of Business last month certainly looked like a pitch competition. Teams of students put forth their idea for a business before a group of people who gave them feedback about their plan and gave advice about where to go from here.
The difference from a regular pitch competition? At PitchFix, everybody wins.
“The INCubatoredu team and Miami’s faculty feels that it’s more important to ready these young entrepreneurs for the next steps than anything else we can offer. Every team won the prize: The judges believe in them and their ability to succeed,” Entrepreneurship lecturer David Eyman said. “We believe in supporting those who seek to make a difference in their communities."
“This experience, whether you're going on with entrepreneurship, whether you're going on with your business, you learn from getting up in front of people and getting this feedback from this awesome team. And I've already heard feedback from the kids that that's the case,” Eric Meyer, of Southwest Local Schools said.
