The 4CD Business Pitch Competition, previously called Piranha Pool, engages students in entrepreneurship by helping them select, test, and present their business ideas. The top 10 will be invited to pitch to judges in front of a live audience on the DVC Pleasant Hill Campus in November. The winner will receive cash and/or in-kind prizes. All participants will be offered mentorship and support.
The competition will run through the fall semester, concluding the week before Thanksgiving. All in-person events will be on the DVC Pleasant Hill Campus
All participants must be enrolled in the Contra Costa Community College District and submit their pitch application by midnight on November 4. Participants may pitch an existing business if it has less than $25,000 of total revenue. The pitch application will include:
Applications will be judged by the formatting of slides and quality of writing, description of the business idea, and rationale and signs of traction.
