We warmly welcome everyone from new students to entrepreneurial veterans and all others with a curious mind, to the first Pitch & Beer of this academic year!

Pitch & Beer is a fun and light-hearted pitching competition where anyone can try out their pitching skills in a safe and fun environment. The evening is also the most amazing networking opportunity and a place to find similar minded connections or even new friends to kick off the new semester with.

Sign up to pitch your idea in front of an enthusiastic crowd and our experienced entry-level pitching judges, who will give you constructive feedback on your idea and on how to improve your pitching skills. We’re not expecting you to be a pro, we’ll cheer on you for being courageous and taking the stage.
Pretty neat prizes and certificates will be handed out to the winners of the evening!
