However, they do have something in common.  They all serve as inspiration for the winners of the Washburn University School of Business Pitch Competition.

The Pitch Competition, developed by Washburn University School of Business, in partnership with GO Topeka, encourages entrepreneurship and innovation. Washburn University undergraduates, graduates and Washburn Tech students compete to win cash and prizes totaling $25,000 to help them launch their new venture.

Contestants develop a “pitch” for their business idea—distilling months of work into seven minutes of clarity, professionalism, inspiration and value.

TK will introduce you to this year’s winners, future inventors and entrepreneurs.
