About the Program

In the competitive world of startups, it is crucial to make a lasting impression on potential stakeholders such as investors, partners, and buyers. The most effective way to do this is through a compelling pitch presentation. The semi-annual Mansfield Bio-Incubator Pitch Competition is designed to help your startup create and effectively deliver a standout presentation that captivates and convinces your audience. Here's how we do it:

  • Enhance Pitch Presentations: If you're looking to enhance your pitch presentation, you are welcome to take advantage of our grant-funded Mentoring Program, where we provide coaching to perfect your pitch deck and effectively communicate your startup's unique value proposition.

  • Provide Expert Feedback: You will receive constructive feedback to fine-tune your pitch and improve your overall presentation skills and delivery.

  • Facilitate Networking and Connections: The competition serves as a premier venue for you to meet a diverse group of investors, industry experts, and fellow entrepreneurs, providing unparalleled networking and strategic relationship-building opportunities.

  • Reward Success: As a competition winner, you will receive generous prizes:
