BMA Pitch Competition

The Black Management Association (BMA) has teamed up with music legend, entrepreneur and founder of Inov8 Next Arabian Prince to set forth a path to foster innovative thinking and entrepreneurship around diversity in business through support of the BMA Innovate24 Pitch Competition. This competition gives students the opportunity to pitch their business ideas for a chance to receive critical funding to make their ideas a reality.

The BMA Pitch Competition aims to:

    • Develop a passion for business creation
    • Provide skills for transforming ideas into viable business plans
    • Create opportunities to pursue
    • Provide critical start-up capital

The BMA Innovate Pitch Competition is a cross-campus skill-building initiative that elevates the business ideas of aspiring entrepreneurs and transforms ‘diamond in the rough’ ideas into business ventures. This unique pitch competition allows 50 participants to build a network of support while addressing the systemic wealth gap and funding challenges minority entrepreneurs often face.
