Defy SoCal California Rehabilitation Center Business Pitch Competition & Graduation

Please join us on Thursday, August 8, at 9:00 am PT for the Defy SoCal Business Pitch Competition & Graduation at the California Rehabilitation Center!

What's it all about?

Business pitch competition and graduations are the culminating events for Entrepreneurs in Training (EITs) as they complete Defy's rigorous CEO of Your New Life program. During these events, EITs present their business ideas in several rounds of a Shark Tank-style competition to panels of volunteer judges. Judges ask clarifying questions, provide feedback to strengthen the business concepts and pitches, and evaluate the overall presentations with their fellow judges to select competition winners. The event also includes 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 in which EITs are awarded a Certificate of Entrepreneurship issued by the Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University.

Please reach out to Bree ([email protected]) with any questions, and we'll see you soon!
