"For so many of our entrepreneurial students, the Startup UBalt and Startup Maryland's Pitch Across Maryland event is the culmination of hours and hours of work as they consider the best way to bring their business ideas to fruition."

Student Entrepreneurs to 'Bring Out Their Best' Business Ideas
Since 2012, budding entrepreneurs from the University of Baltimore will have a chance to share their ideas and concepts for new businesses with several successful business leaders, when Startup Maryland's "Pitch Across Maryland" bus tour stops for a rally and pitch competition at the UBalt.
As the big yellow bus arrives on campus a celebration of entrepreneurship and innovation begins. Our students pitch their ideas for the University and then again for the judges on the bus. it is a lot of work but they are up for the challenge.
Look for this competition each September.
