SUMMARY:Startup Summit 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the MSU Center for Entrepreneurship & Outreach Startup Summit Pitch Competition for an action-packed 2-day event where bold founders will hit the stage to pitch their big ideas\, compete for cash prizes\, and connect with Mississippi’s vibrant entrepreneurial community. \nWhether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur\, a seasoned business leader\, or an investor scouting your next great prospect\, you’ll find energy\, innovation\, and inspiration in every pitch. Come for the ideas\, stay for the connections\, and be part of the movement shaping Mississippi’s future. \nEvent Details: \n-April 24th: Mississippi Made Pitch Competition at McCool Hall\, MSU Campus 10:00 am-6:30 pm \n-April 25th: Bulldog Business National Pitch Competition and Reception – The Mill Conference Center\, 3:00 pm-7:30 pm.

Together\, they provide two pitch pathways—one for high-growth startups and another for traditional small businesses. If a founder’s venture shows strong high-growth potential\, they may even earn an invitation to join the CoBuilders Accelerator. \nThis project is being supported\, in whole or in part\, by federal award number SSBCI-21034-0003 awarded to Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
