A "pitch" is a 3 minute story of a company. It provides all the basics of who, what, why, and how an idea will succeed. IdeaFunding's annual pitch competition provides an opportunity for Arizona companies to share their stories with our community for a chance to win a number of cash prizes including a $25,000 grand prize on the main stage.
To participate, each company must submit an application and participate in the training and "down-rounds." Applicants will advance through multiple rounds as selected by a panel of qualified judges and mentors and will go head to head for a chance to pitch live at the grand finale of IdeaFunding on March 27th during the TENWEST Impact Festival at the Rialto Theatre.
2025 prizes include a main stage award valued at $25,000 including year of incubation at UACI valued at over $10,000, multiple $2,500 awards for industry vertical rooms and special prizes, such as the Social Impact Prize, the Adelante Arizona Prize, and the People's Choice Award.
