About the program · 2 linked sources
The Entrepreneurship Week Pitch Competition is the public finale of Entrepreneurship Week at Daniels. The current page calls it the fourth year of the competition and also titles the section “Hack 4impact & Sustainability Challenge.” It is distinct from the course-based du-4impact-challenge. This listing is compiled from the public page and is not a school-claimed profile.
Also known as: DU Pitch Competition, E-Week Pitch Competition

Application and Timing
The page says to stay tuned for the 2026 competition and still prints a 2025 calendar: applications April 14–April 30, 2025, and the competition on May 22, 2025. No 2026 deadline was posted at the 2026-10-08 capture.
Participants
All University of Denver degree-seeking students. The page says 8–10 teams are invited to pitch, at Community Commons. Finalists can receive support and access to du-base-camp.
Funding and Equity
The current page says prizes are $6,000 total, $2,000 for each of three categories. It does not say the prizes take equity. An older guidelines page lists $1,500, $1,000, and $500. funding_max follows the current program page’s category prize, not the older scale and not the $6,000 combined pool.
Recent Activity
The page remained the live competition URL on 2026-10-08, with the 2025 date and the “stay tuned” line both present. The last dated competition on the page is May 22, 2025.
