The seventh annual pitch-a-thon pays homage to the TV show, but with a twist. Our panel of experts brings a mix of viewpoints – from a journalist, a college-president-turned-equity expert, and an entrepreneur – weighing in on transformative ideas from new companies, nonprofits, and big dreamers for improving the college experience. Interested contestants, contact us by email now at CI@chronicle.com. Just interested in what’s happening? See you in Austin.
