Join us for the 3rd annual Gray Matter Experience Pitch Black Student Pitch Competition. During the event, hear our teen #GMEChangers plan to change the landscape of underrepresented neighborhoods in Chicago through business development.
Six student groups will present for a chance to win a portion of $30,000 in seed funding and pro-bono services for their business while gaining invaluable feedback from our distinguished panel of judges to implement before launching.
Be amongst the mentors, partners, sponsors and supporters of The Gray Matter Experience in one of Chicago's largest innovation hubs, mHUB, to cheer these students on.
Registration and networking begins at 4:00pm with light refreshments served. The event will begin promptly at 4:30pm.
