What is PitchTank?: PitchTank is a student-run entrepreneurship competition for high school students. Students learn to write a business plan and build a pitch, then present their idea to a panel of local business owners and investors for feedback and cash prizes.
Where is PitchTank based?: PitchTank is run by students at John P. Stevens High School in Edison, New Jersey. Learning sessions are held virtually over Zoom.
Who started PitchTank?: Abhinav Pentyala founded PitchTank in January 2024 as a high school student, to give young entrepreneurs a real place to pitch their ideas.
Who can apply?: High school students with a business idea, or students who just want to learn how starting a business works.
Do I need a finished idea?: No. Our sessions walk you through turning a rough idea into a business plan and a pitch.
What do winners get?: Selected participants receive cash prizes to help turn their idea into a real business, and everyone gets feedback from the judges.
When is the next competition?: Meeting times, deadlines, and the competition date are posted on the PitchTank calendar as soon as they are set. Registered students are notified by email.
