$80,000 contest open to all Montclair State students
Posted in: Events, Young Entrepreneurs
$80,000 in prize money will be won by Montclair State students in the university’s annual student pitch contest.
The prize pool has increased substantially for the 2018 contest, the BulbHead.com Inventors Day for Aspiring Entrepreneurs, generously funded by alumnus AJ Khubani, CEO of BulbHead.com. In 2017, the contest had one prize of $10,000. For the 2018 contest, the $80,000 will be split among three prizes: first = $50,000; second = $20,000; third = $10,000. At each prize level, 20 percent of the award goes directly to the student team members and the remaining 80 percent must be invested in the startup venture under the coaching of the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship.
The $80,000 prize pool makes Montclair State’s competition the largest collegiate pitch contest in New Jersey. (Next largest annual prize pots are $50K at TCNJ, $45K at Rutgers and $30K at Princeton).
The contest is open to all Montclair State students.
Students can learn more about the $80K contest, including how to enter, at a special event on Wed. Dec. 6 at noon in room 140 of Feliciano School of Business building. Free pizza will be served.
