Business Pitch Competition

We're excited to share details about this year's Business Pitch Competition! In AACC’s version of the ABC Network’s “Shark Tank,” the Business Pitch Competition is open to all credit and noncredit students who have successfully completed an AACC course in the last year. These students compete for money to support their business ventures. They submit comprehensive business plans and finalists pitch their idea to a panel of judges who evaluate and determine awards.
