Pitch Competition

Pitch Day is a celebration of the highly successful entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Teton region and beyond. We hope to inspire audience members and others in our community to dream up or begin their own entrepreneurial journey.

Pitch Day—free to attend and will be open to the public—and will be held at the Center for the Arts on Tuesday, October 7th from 5:00-7:00 pm MST with a reception to follow.

Cash prizes will be awarded in three categories:

This award is given to the company that our experienced entrepreneur judges determine has (1) the most compelling business idea, (2) the best chance for business success, (3) the highest likelihood of getting funded, and (4) the strongest presentation.
This award is given to the entrepreneur who “wows” the audience with their presentation and company vision.
The Bob Arndt Community Caretaker Award is presented to that entrepreneur or venture whose person/team and company best embodies the core values and mission of Silicon Couloir. Just as Bob lived his life guided by the value of community caretaking, this company will exemplify growing a culture of stewardship, leadership, participation, collaboration, and citizenship that inspires and enriches our tight-knit, welcoming mountain town.

Selected entrepreneurs will have five coaching sessions with a team of successful and experienced business experts leading up to the main event. A critical and high-value feature of the program, coaching helps entrepreneurs hone their delivery and synthesize their business concept, financials, and presentation.

Congratulations to our five finalists on their sophisticated and polished pitches! A tremendous amount of hard work went into each compelling and thoughtful presentation.
