Ingenious Ideas, Live Judging, $300K in Grand Prizes of cash and startup services on the line to win. You won’t want to miss the Final Round of the $300K Entrepreneurs Challenge.

The Finals mark the culmination of an eight-month-long competition, which launched last fall with 243 teams (and more than 530 founders) from 19 schools, colleges and divisions across NYU’s global campus.

This year, 14 teams will deliver their final presentations, all in the hopes of transforming their ideas into reality.

During the afternoon (from 1:00-4:00 pm), enjoy a front row seat as the teams pitch to a panel of high profile judges. In the evening, join us for the Final Pitch-Off when each team will pitch their venture before a packed auditorium. Vote for your favorite for the Audience Choice award (5:00 – 8:00 pm). Then, stick around for celebratory cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and networking.
