Newswise — More than 90 new venture ideas - each pitched in three minutes or less by Babson alumni and students – are featured at Babson College’s 10th Annual Rocket Pitch Event on Friday, October 30, 2009 on the Babson College campus.

Babson alumni and student entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a large audience of students, faculty, entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers.

Each entrepreneur is allowed three minutes and three PowerPoint slides to quickly and succinctly deliver the critical differentiating elements of their business ideas. Pitches happen in rapid succession in multiple rooms with no time for questions allotted.

Following the event is an open networking reception where entrepreneurs are available to answer questions.
