Business Pitch Competitions (BPCs) are the culminating events for hard-working EITs completing the CEO of Your New Life program. During a BPC, EITs will present their business ideas in several rounds of a Shark Tank-style competition to panels of business leaders and investors. The event also includes Defy’s signature icebreaker and empathy-building exercises designed to create an inclusive and accepting community. At the end of the day, five winning pitches are selected from the group in an awards ceremony, followed by a cap and gown graduation ceremony.

As this event will be in prison, a photo of your vaccination card is required upon submission of your clearance information.

Sign ups are now closed for this event. If you would like to attend future activities at Kewanee, please email Melissa at [email protected]
