Spark! Tank: NextGen Student Pitch Competition

Everyday entrepreurship program
In partnership with the National Association of Community College Entrepreneurship's (NACCE) Everyday Entrepreneurship Program

Got an idea? That's all it takes. You don't need an existing business to compete — just an idea and the drive to make it real. Whether it's a product, a service, an app, or a community-focused initiative, if you can pitch it, you can compete.

And you won't do it alone. Every participant gets hands-on support from real incubator consultants, including pitch training sessions and 1:1 coaching to help shape your idea into a polished, confident pitch. From first concept to the final stage, you'll have mentors in your corner every step of the way.

Bring your vision. We'll help you build the pitch.
