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. Held twice each semester, this 60-minute event is designed for idea-stage thinkers looking to test the waters and get valuable feedback.

Think It, Pitch It is held two times per semester. Check StartupTree for this semester's dates and deadlines.

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.
• Their innovative idea to address it.

Why Participate?

• Prizes: Fun awards, including Best Idea and Audience Choice.
• Support: Every participant will receive feedback and mentorship from RCIE advisors to help shape their idea.
• Community: Connect with like-minded students and explore Rowan’s innovation ecosystem.

Whether it’s your first entrepreneurial experience or just a chance to test out a new concept, Think It, Pitch It is the perfect place to start. 

Who Can Join?

• 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.
