MORTAR's LIFE'S A P!+CH: Pitch Night & Graduation Spring 2026
About this Event
Join MORTAR for Life's A P!+CH on Tuesday, June 23, from 5 to 8:30 PM at Cincinnati Public Radio! We're so excited to see Participants from Cohorts 45 (PRO: 45) & 46 (Blueprint) display their businesses and watch the top ten pitchers take the stage for a chance to win multiple awards and prizes.
What is the LIFE'S A P!+CH competition?
Graduating businesses will display their products and services at booths for the first hour of the event. Be prepared to visit them and vote for your favorite by donating ($5 or more) via their unique fundraising links at every booth. The business with the most money in donations by the end of the competition will be awarded PEOPLE'S CHOICE and a $3,000 grant.
The top ten scorers from our in-class Pitch Night will be given up to 3 minutes to pitch their business in front of a live crowd of supporters, investors, and potential customers. The winner is determined by a panel of experienced judges and will be awarded JUDGE'S CHOICE and a $5,000 grant!
