'The Pitch' - a new challenge from the York Entrepeneurs

pitch
Monday, 16th November 2009
The York Entrepreneurs, after the success of last year’s The Apprentice, are pitting groups against each other again.

Entitled ‘The Pitch’, contestants will be given the task of presenting ideas to a panel of judges about how to use an empty building in Heslington East. The eight groups consist of three participants, and YUSU chair Tim Ngwena will be one of the judges.

The challenge began today (Monday), with a team briefing and preliminary research. On Tuesday the contestants will hear speeches from key speakers to aid their research, and the first round of judging will occur, with one team being eliminated.

Wednesday is a free day for the contestants to put in invaluable research for the task at hand. Thursday will conclude the contest, with all remaining teams ‘pitching’ their ideas to the panel, who will then decide on a winner. The winning team will win £600.

Last years winners of 'The Apprentice', Team mBezel (which included Tim Ngwena), walked away with £1000 prize money to divide amongst the four team members.

The York Entrepeneurs aim is to "encourage and support student entrepreneurship by providing inspiration, education and the chance to learn by doing at The University of York and beyond". The society began in 2004 after a higher education award of £11 million was shared between the Universities of York, Leeds and Sheffield.
