GEC is Georgetown Entrepreneurship’s biggest pitch competition tournament of the year. It is our signature end-of-the-year event with nearly 10 preliminary rounds and roughly 100 teams participating. At the April finals, teams received over $36,000 in cash ($20,000 were awarded in in-kind prizes) to build out their businesses. While we certainly missed having all our teams in person and pitching live, the pre-recorded pitches made for an entertaining livestreamed experience for the Georgetown community and helped us reach distance-learning students, alumni, and those outside of the DMV we have never been able to before.
