Description
Five Votes, Five Ideas, Five Minutes, Five Judges, Five Thousand Dollars
That’s a lot of fives — we simply call it 5×5.
5×5 Pitch Competition: Five founders. Five-minute business pitches. Five minutes of Q&A. One $5,000 winner.
There’s no restriction on the type of idea — it’s all about advancing what’s next. The community votes to select the five presenters, who will each share how they’ll use $5,000 to move their idea forward and connect with people who can help make it happen.
After the pitches, join us for a reception where we’ll announce the winner, enjoy beverages, and continue the conversation. We hope you’ll be part of it!
WHO: Any individual. Any idea. Five applicants are
chosen to present each month based on popular vote. You must be at
least 18 years old and an individual (not an organization).
WHEN: 5×5 Night takes place once a month. Doors open
at 5:00PM. Presentations start at 5:30PM. All votes and applications
are due one week prior to the event.
WHERE: 5×5 Night typically happens at Start Garden,
but for a few months out of the year, they hit the road and host at
partner organization venues spanning the West Michigan region. This
month they'll be visiting us at the Muskegon Innovation Hub.
WHY: An idea is a seed. Sharing it is putting it in
the ground. Hiding it is putting it in a drawer.
VOTERS: Any individual from the community.
JUDGES: Judges are members of 5×5 Night and a
representation of the region’s small business, enterprise, non-profit,
civic leadership and creatives. Reach out to learn about becoming a
member and judging at the events. Judges are announced each month, a
week before voting ends.
FREE TO ATTEND.
