Bright Red Sparks - Pitch your ideas!

Bright Red Sparks is our new monthly Pitch Competition series, that provides a platform for any Edinburgh Napier student, staff or alumni to pitch their idea and win a cash prize of £500. There is no need for a physical product or established business, all you need is an idea.

This series alongside our pitch resources and support from our business advisers will provide an opportunity for our community to learn how to pitch and tell the story of their business in a very friendly setting. Members can expect to gain valuable insights from fellow entrepreneurs, expert judges and our business advisers who will provide feedback on pitches and answer any questions you may have about the next steps in your entrepreneurial journey.
