DifferenceMaker Idea Challenge

Come cheer on our UMass Lowell DifferenceMaker student teams at the 2019 Annual $50,000 Idea Challenge Finals. The field has been narrowed down from many competitive applications to just 10 DifferenceMaker teams who will pitch their ventures to a panel of alumni judges. The evening will begin with poster presentations by the finalist teams, as well as student teams who participated in the Preliminary Pitch-off. The finalist teams will then present a series of 5-minute rocket pitches to the panel of alumni judges. Lastly, the judges will deliberate and give away the $50,000 in prize money and services to the 10 teams. This event is for students, alumni, faculty, staff, community members and entrepreneurs. Thank you to our Gold Sponsor, Foley and Lardner, LLP. If you have any questions regarding this event, please email DifferenceMaker@uml.edu.
