Rocket Pitch is an annual event where dozens of Babson College and Olin College entrepreneurs (students and alumni) pitch their business ideas to an audience of students, faculty, entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers.
Each entrepreneur is given three minutes and three PowerPoint slides to quickly and succinctly deliver the critical differentiating elements of their business ideas. Pitches happen in rapid succession in multiple rooms. Presenters can't answer questions during their pitch, so an open networking reception follows the event, allowing audience members to connect with the entrepreneurs directly.
Twitter hashtag for the event is #RP2010.
