As part of this dynamic celebration of innovation and entrepreneurship in Riverside County, California, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming Fast Pitch Competition on April 17th, 2025 at 5:30PM at Riverside ExCITE. Hosted by the Office of Technology Partnerships’ EPIC SBDC, this event is designed to amplify the voices of startups and entrepreneurs in our community. The Fast Pitch Competition is a highlight of Riverside County Innovation Month, offering a platform for startups and entrepreneurs to present their groundbreaking ideas in a 5-minute pitch. This year, the competition will consist of four regional events: Coachella Valley, Murrieta (Southwest Regional), Riverside (City), and Crucible. We are inviting local startups to participate in our city-level Riverside competition for a change to secure a spot at the Riverside County Finale Competition and compete with other regional finalists. This event is also open to the public for the community – the bigger the audience, the more the fun! Food and drinks will be served. Join us for a night of networking, pitches, and innovations!
