About this Event
This year's Region 4 pitch competition will be hosted by The Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest! During the event, ten northwest Indiana high school teams who have been carefully selected out of hundreds of competitors will share their innovative pitches and business ideas.
We will be joined by government officials, business leaders, local innovators, educators, and family as the students pitch their businesses and compete to be one of the top ten teams in the state. The top team from Region 4 will move onto the state finals and will be invited to travel to DC in June, receive thousands of dollars in scholarship, enter an exclusive alumni program, and then the state winner will receive $25,000 in funding.
Register today to support and experience these amazing young people and future entrepreneurs! More details can be found at: startedupfoundation.org/region-4
Thank you to our Region 4 Sponsors!
