About Perfecting the Pitch

Sponsored by venture capitalist Tim Draper, the Draper Business Plan Competition is an exclusive opportunity for current Smith College students to compete for $20,000 in prize money.

Perfecting the Pitch is our opportunity to connect with the semi-finalists back in Northampton and send constructive criticism their way. This event will bring the innovative business thinking of Bay Area alumnae to Smith students, and give you an opportunity to meet your local alumnae peers.
