Moonshot Pitch Competition What do PayPal, Adranos, Nike, Socio, Patagonia, and Facebook all have in common? They all started from an IDEA! Great ideas can come from all walks of life. Some can turn into multibillion-dollar tech businesses while others may be a lifestyle business or a local non-profit that fills a need in the community. Purdue Innovates is proud to present the Moonshot Pitch Competition this Spring. I've attached a digital flyer and info below on the idea pitch competition that is open to ALL Purdue University students. Undergrads and Graduate students are welcome to submit their ideas for this semi-annual challenge. Our team will be posting more info across social media and around campus over the next few days and would love if you helped spread the word and encourage any of your fellow students and acquaintances across campus to participate. Moonshot Pitch Challenge<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdueinn…> is an ideation-focused pitch challenge that asks students to think big - beyond the classroom - and pitch an idea that solves a real-world problem in 2 minutes of less! Any idea can be submitted for the Challenge! Student teams will have to submit a video describing their idea and decide which category their idea falls into. There are 3 categories to choose from: * EARTH (Social Ideas) * ORBIT (Business Ideas) * Moonshot (Dent in the Universe Ideas) No idea is a bad idea, but only the most thoughtful and well-presented pitches will make it to the finals event. Finalists will compete for a prize pool of $5,500!
