Please join us on Saturday, July 9, 2022, at 1 pm PT for the Defy WA CEOYNL Community - Business Pitch Competition and Graduation!
What's it all about?
Business pitch competition and graduations are the culminating events for EITs as they complete Defy's rigorous CEO YNL 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, three 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. Join us in celebrating the EITs as they graduate from this first step of their entrepreneurial journey with Defy!
Please note: This is an in-person event, and in order to keep everyone safe, all volunteers will need to show proof of Covid vaccination. Masks will be required of all participants during the event. Acceptable forms of vaccination proof can include: vaccination card (can be a copy or photo on the phone), or a digital record provided by a state agency.
