About this event

Pitch Ronnen Harary. Walk away with $500 to start your business.

Ronnen Harary, co-founder of Spin Master and author of No Experience Necessary, is touring North American campuses in an Airstream, and he's stopping at the University of Arizona. Bring a business idea. No experience necessary.

How it works

At the Airstream, you get 60 seconds to pitch your idea to Ronnen. He then has 60 seconds to ask you questions.

If he wants to support your idea, he writes you a $500 check on the spot.

You have 7 days to spend the full $500 to start your business.

Then submit your receipts, a progress update and your full pitch to qualify for the final.

A panel of judges will pick 30 finalists

At a live virtual final after the tour, Ronnen will choose 10 winners from those finalists to receive $25,000 each to build their business, no strings attached.

What to bring: your idea, your ID, your phone, and your confidence.

Who can pitch: participants must be 18 or older a
