Brave Pitch Competition · Dream
Pitch your idea in a one- to three-minute video
Brave Pitch is open to any Bradley student, undergraduate or graduate, in any major. You don’t need a business plan or business experience, and you can enter on your own or with a team.
What you submit
A video, one to three minutes long, describing your idea.
There’s no required format. Pointing your phone camera at yourself or your team and talking through the idea works fine. It can be a new product or business, a solution to a social or environmental problem, or a way to improve student life at Bradley. It doesn’t have to be something that has never existed: opening a regular bakery in a small town counts.
What you get
Prizes are paid in cash. Every entrant gets feedback on their idea from the judges, and strong ideas can be fast-tracked into the Big Idea Competition.
