Pitch Fest Competition

As a speaker at PitchFest, hosted by LAVIN, I delivered a creative pitch that earned applause from the audience, making an impression even without taking home the prize.

PitchFest, hosted by LAVIN in collaboration with the Entrepreneurship Society, almost didn’t include me. Until I convinced my friend, Zachary Almaraz, to join in just minutes before it started. With barely any time to prepare, we pitched our idea: a campus-friendly version of DoorDash, but with a unique twist to make it stand out. Although we didn’t win, we had a great time presenting and left a solid impression. There was a nice round of applause from the audience, which made it all the more satisfying.

Standing in front of professors and students, Zachary and I pulled together a pitch that reflected creativity, teamwork, and a lot of quick thinking. It may have been a spontaneous decision, but the experience taught us a lot about presenting under pressure and delivering a message that resonated with the crowd. We might not have taken home a prize, but the applause and positive reactions from the audience made it a win in its own way.
