Please join us on Thursday, February 26, at 9:00 am MT for the Defy Utah Women's Business Pitch Competition & Graduation at the Utah State Correctional Facility!
What's it all about
This is the big day. After months of preparation, Entrepreneurs in Training (EITs) pitch their business ideas in a Shark Tank-style competition and graduate from Defy's transformational program.
As a volunteer judge, you'll:
Offer feedback on EITs' business pitches
Ask thoughtful questions and help shape strong ideas
Celebrate EITs' journeys at a moving cap-and-gown ceremony
The event also includes community-building activities that break down barriers and build trust. It's a day of powerful stories, renewed purpose, and second chances.
Please reach out to Bree ([email protected]) with any questions, and we'll see you soon!
