Fly! Pitch Competition

Fly! Mocs Business Pitch Competition is our spring pitch competition where a good idea and a strong pitch can earn you some cash and start-up resources to move your business forward.
We're looking for new venture ideas from across UTC. Students in any major at either the undergraduate or graduate level are welcome to apply. You don't have to have all the details worked out, but you do need to prove that there is a market for your product or service, and that you are the right person or team to move this new venture forward. Finalists will be invited to present their business idea to a panel of local entrepreneurs. You will give a 10-minute presentation followed by a 5-minute Q&A session with the judges.
The top three ideas will be awarded:
1st Place - $5,000.
2nd Place - $2,500.
3rd Place - $1,000.
