Youngsters and old hands: The pitch categories
The HSG Alumni Founder Pitch has two categories: one for the "youngsters" among you, the other for the "old hands" of entrepreneurship.
Did you start a business during your university studies or directly afterward? Then you belong to the so-called Young Guns: In this category you compete with other younger founders.
Do you already have several or decades of professional experience and use this for your business idea? Then you fall into the cluster of Old Boys and finds equal competitors here.
The naming Old Boys However, this should not be misunderstood: applications from female founders are just as welcome as those from male colleagues.
