Mississippi State’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Outreach is accepting entries for the 17th annual pitch competition Startup Summit April 24-25 in McCool Hall and the Mill Conference Center.

The summit fosters student entrepreneurship while serving as a competitive platform for presenting innovative business ideas. Business pitches are evaluated on criteria such as technology, management, financials and market potential.

This year’s summit has two divisions: the Bulldog Business Competition for MSU students and the Mississippi Made Competition for companies in the Magnolia State less than five years old with less than 10 employees.  

The entry deadline for pitches is Tuesday [March 25]. For more information on the summit and the MSU College of Business, visit www.ecenter.msstate.edu/startupsummit/ and www.business.msstate.edu.
