Making the Right Pitch

Written by Scott Akanewich | 06.17.22

Building a business from the ground up is a venture that can challenge even the savviest of entrepreneurs, from the planning stages right up to the finished product.

However, for students at Liberty Hill High School, there is a program in place for those who may wish to pursue such undertakings in the future – the INCubatoredu program – a class that lasts an entire school year with the objective to provide an authentic entrepreneur experience that covers the entire process.

As a culmination of the class, students competed in “Pitch Night” – a competition modeled after the reality-television show “Shark Tank” – in which teams of four students were tasked with identifying a need, then developing a solution in the form of goods or services and finally crafting a presentation for potential investors.
