Have an idea but don’t know where to start?

Think It, Pitch It, hosted by the Rowan Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (RCIE), is a welcoming space for students to take their first step into the entrepreneurial world. Offered regularly throughout the semester, this 60-minute event is designed for idea-stage thinkers looking to test the waters and get valuable feedback.

How It Works

Think It, Pitch It is a fast-paced, beginner-friendly pitch event for students in the early stages of developing an idea. No business plans, pitch decks, or prior experience required—just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!

Each participant will have 60 seconds to share the problem or opportunity they’re tackling and their innovative idea to address it. After the pitches, participants receive feedback from RCIE mentors and get a chance to connect with other aspiring student entrepreneurs.

What You’ll Gain

Whether it's your first entrepreneurial experience or a chance to test out a brand-new concept, Think It, Pitch It is the perfect place to start. You’ll walk away with personalized feedback, new connections, and a shot at winning part of our $225 prize pool to jumpstart your idea.

But don’t stop there—Think It, Pitch It is just the beginning. RCIE offers year-round programming, mentorship, competitions, seed funding, and an engaged network to help you grow your idea into something real.

Eligibility

The event is open to all current Rowan University undergraduate and graduate students. Participants must be the originator or co-originator of the idea and may apply individually or with one co-founder.

This event is intended for students at the idea stage—ventures should not yet be fully launched or generating revenue.
