Each year BUILD recruits hundreds of volunteers and mentors to support our high school entrepreneurs. These volunteers are the backbone of our program and provide valuable feedback and coaching as Shark Tank-style judges, secret shoppers, venture advisors, and more.
This year on November 16, in celebration of National Entrepreneurship Day, we’re flipping the pitch and giving our youth entrepreneurs the opportunity to be the coaches and judges!
*Limited to 2 volunteers per company
**Please RSVP by November,1, 2022

HOW DOES IT WORK?
You will be assigned a cross-company team, receive photos of a real BUILD student product, and work collaboratively in a breakout session with your new friends and a BUILD student coach to come up with your pitch. Then the competition begins! Each team will have a few minutes to pitch and answer Q&As from BUILD students.
This event is a great opportunity to learn more about BUILD, meet our high school entrepreneurs and help them practice giving feedback and public speaking, network with other BUILD supporters, win prizes, and have fun…all from the comfort of your own home or office!
