Fifty-five entrepreneurs across 46 teams, primed with the traditional three-minute pitch and three slides, took to Babson College’s Olin Hall on Thursday night for the 23rd annual Rocket Pitch, launching the start of Global Entrepreneurial Leadership Week 2022.

One of many Babson College pitch events, Rocket Pitch convenes student and alumni entrepreneurs from Babson, Olin, and Wellesley colleges to pitch their entrepreneurial endeavors to a large audience of students, faculty, entrepreneurs, investors, and startup supporters.

Running through November 18, Global Entrepreneurial Leadership Week is Babson’s moment to celebrate the power of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial leadership. Powered by Babson College’s Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership, this series of events and conversations will engage the global Babson community and beyond in an exploration of entrepreneurial leadership.


Register today for Global Entrepreneurial Leadership Week.
