Six University of Arizona Eller College of Management student new venture teams are headed to Scottsdale on Wednesday, April 24 for “Bear Down and Pitch.” Through this program Eller students present their business ventures in front of the Phoenix entrepreneurship community.

The launch-ready teams have been working on their ventures for the past year and through Bear Down and Pitch, they will compete for thousands of dollars. These highly motivated student teams master the conceptual and practical skills needed to turn their ideas into ventures, solve real-world problems and serve the needs of real people in society.

It is thanks to the active Phoenix investors and venture capitalists for coming together to get a glimpse of the Eller College McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship’s new innovative business ventures.

The event takes place at Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West from 5-8 p.m.
