University of Dayton's Flyer Pitch Competition
Build upon your ideas, engage with experts and resources, and grow your business!
The Flyer Pitch Competition is an annual competition sponsored by UD’s L. William Crotty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and the Greater West Dayton Incubator in partnership with PNC Bank and The Entrepreneurs' Center. Now in its 18th year, Flyer Pitch awards more than $150,000 in cash prizes and more than $50,000 of in-kind prizes during the competition. Its legacy includes more than 80 new ventures that have been launched as a result of the competition with over $24 million in follow-on capital raised by those businesses. Over the course of the competition, participants will have the opportunity to enhance their own skills as well as strengthen their venture through training, mentorship, and feedback from expert judges. This is not only intended to help finalists prepare for the pitch but to ultimately provide entrepreneurs with the hands-on support to successfully launch their new venture.
The Flyer Pitch Competition is open to all Dayton faculty, staff, students, alumni, and members of the Greater Dayton region.
