Key Dates:

• Final Round (in person): Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the Cal State Fullerton Titan Student Union (TSU)

The top finalists from each category—university/college, high school, and middle school—will advance to the final round, where they will compete for the chance to be recognized and awarded cash prizes.

How You Can Participate: We invite everyone to participate in this year’s competition, whether by submitting a pitch or by helping us spread the word. This is a fantastic opportunity to support young entrepreneurs in their journey to make a difference.

Supporting Resources: To help students prepare their pitches, we offer a range of workshops, training sessions, and online resources, including a workshop by CSUF’s Dr. Atul, available for viewing here. For further details about the CSUF Titan Fast Pitch, including rules, workshop recordings, a list of prizes, and a sample YouTube video, please visit the Titan Fast Pitch 2024 webpage.

This Year’s Theme: Entrepreneurs for Social Enterprise The theme for this year’s competition is “Entrepreneurs for Social Enterprise.” Social enterprises are businesses that prioritize social impact alongside profitability. These companies are dedicated to addressing social, environmental, or community challenges while operating successfully in the marketplace. Notable examples include TOMS, known for donating a pair of shoes for every pair sold, and Patagonia, which is committed to environmental sustainability by donating 1% of its sales to environmental causes.

Submit Your Pitch Today: If you’re ready to make a difference and showcase your innovative ideas, submit your 90-second video here.

Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of something big. We look forward to seeing your pitches and celebrating the entrepreneurial talent of Southern California!
