You don’t need to be a Dartmouth alum to do this Dartmouth pitch competition

Calling all new founders: Perfect pitches require practice, so here’s an upcoming opportunity to do just that. The Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network of D.C. (DEN D.C.) is hosting  a free pitch competition in the District as part of its 2016-2017 “PITCH-SURGE-LAUNCH” contest.
This first “PITCH” component of the whole contest “is a great opportunity for anyone in the D.C. area to pitch and receive advice from experts,” DEN D.C. board member Matt Sturm told Technical.ly. That’s right, you don’t need to be affiliated with Dartmouth to apply to pitch. Advice from DEN members, six months of membership and a shot at $500 are all up for grabs.
DEN D.C. places “significant emphasis on welcoming, educating and supporting new and future entrepreneurs,” Sturm said, and this competition is part of that mission.
Even better? The winner of the competition in D.C. will be automatically entered in the spring stage of the whole contest which carries a $50,000 grand prize.
The D.C. event will be held at 1776 on 15th Street on Nov. 28 — admission to pitch is rolling but all applications should be in by Nov. 18. Find out how to apply here.
