Pitch your business idea to a panel of esteemed judges
Sponsored by Santander Universities, the Elevator Pitch Competition gives budding entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their business idea to a panel of esteemed judges for the chance to win a cash prize.
Participants will need to adhere to a strict three-minute pitch format, with additional time for questions from the judging panel.
There is a cash prize pool of £5,000 available, courtesy of our generous sponsors Santander Universities and contestants will be competing for the most memorable pitch of the day as well as runner-up and overall winner.
The Elevator Pitch Competition is part of the Venture Programme , an extracurricular programme designed to unlock the entrepreneurial spirit of every Cranfield student, hosted by the university’s entrepreneurial hub, the Bettany Centre.
