Backing student founders means meeting them where they are.
Most students never get a room to pitch in. We built one that is free to enter, open across the country, and judged with the same rigour as a real investment — no business plan, pitch deck, or connections required.

Head Judge
“Some of these student pitches are more focused than professional ones I have reviewed. SchoolPitch gives them a real process to test an idea and get feedback from people who take it seriously.”

Founder & Director
“I built SchoolPitch because I wanted a real place for student founders — not just a competition, but a platform where ideas get taken seriously regardless of your school or background.”

How we support every student.
Free entry, always
There is no entry fee. You fill out one short form and record a one-minute video. That is the whole application. We never ask for a pitch deck or a business plan.
We are committed to students who would never otherwise get the room.
Removing barriers to entry
Cost, decks, and connections keep most students out of competitions. We strip all of it away — a free form and a one-minute video is everything you need to be in the running.
Amplifying first-time founders
Every cycle produces winner highlights and finalist profiles that schools, programs, and sponsors can point to — so a student's first idea becomes a real credential.
Sponsors
Powered by partners who believe students deserve real capital.
