The BUILDFest Pitch Challenge is a multi-part event that represents the culmination of a year of hard work by our students and celebrates the transformative power of entrepreneurship.
Here’s How It Works: Starting in early May, more than thirty teams of BUILD high school students representing six Boston Public Schools will pitch their innovative business ideas to volunteer judges in hopes of earning a final slot at The BUILDFest Pitch Challenge on June 7th. Only three teams will make it all the way. These finalists will compete in front of a panel of VIP judges and hundreds of BUILD community members for cash prizes and start-up funds. This event will also feature a reception and Student Business Expo where guests will have the opportunity to meet BUILD’s student entrepreneurs and purchase their unique products.
This year we’re extending the fun by adding a BUILDFest After-Party at The Lawn on D hosted by the BUILD Boston Associate Board. Join the party with food, drinks, raffle prizes, music, and more!
