Pitch
Competition

Lawyer-ed will be hosting its first ever online startup Pitch Competition for university students on the 22nd August, 2024. Individuals or teams of 5 may pitch their business idea to a panel of judges, each of whom are business veterans. Participants will each have 3 minutes to pitch, followed by 2 minutes of feedback from the judges. The winners will be announced to all at the end, with first place receiving their choice of either 30% off of the silver package of Lawyer-ed services or a $100 gift card, with the next two runners up receiving $75 and $50 gift cards respectively. 

By participating, aspiring student entrepreneurs will gain valuable experience and insight into the process of business pitching in a risk-free environment, while having the opportunity to not just network with industry veterans, but also to promote your business ideas.
