Pitch Your Idea | Meet Passionate People | Build Your Team

Are you an ICUBE member with a great idea, but need team members to help make it happen? Pitch your project to a room full of eager entrepreneurials looking for opportunities to build their portfolio, volunteer for a cool startup, or hoping to join a great project as a founding team member. Hiring grants are available to eligible teams.

Don’t have an idea yet, but know that the entrepreneurial spirit runs through your veins? Join us to learn about entrepreneurship and find out about new ways of getting involved in our community. Listen to founders pitch their ideas, and identify projects that resonate with you. Make connections, create opportunities for yourself, or even join a company as a founding member, all while obtaining a transcript notation!

Every founder team will be assigned to a short timeslot to pitch their idea. Timeslots will be given on a first come first served basis, pending interest.
