The Thomas Jefferson High School INCubatoredu Entrepreneurship Class presented their business models to the Board of Advisors (aka “Friendly Sharks”) as part of the Minimum Viable Product Pitch Day.

The MVP Pitch is a critical moment in the INCubatoredu program as the teams of students synthesize their learning into forecasting what their future business plans should be. Each team’s goal is to gain the Board of Advisor’s approval to move forward with their plan for implementation, and ultimately, for funding to execute their MVP plan. This time in front of the Board of Advisors prepares students for feedback and approval and is especially helpful in developing communication skills that lay the foundation for their final business pitch at the end of the school year.
INCubatoredu is essentially “Shark Tank” for students and teaches invaluable lessons in grit, determination, innovation and, most of all, entrepreneurship. The final end-of-year pitch night will be held on May, 14, 2019 at the Pittsburgh Business Show.
