Pitch or Watch Live: Panasci Business Plan Competition

The Panasci Business Plan Competition returns on April 10, 2026, from 12:45–5 p.m. at the Whitman School of Management. 

Panasci is Syracuse University’s premier startup competition — where the university’s top student ventures pitch live in front of investors, accomplished alumni founders, and executive-level judges. Teams compete for more than $40,000 in cash prizes, along with a $5,000 Social Impact Prize and a $5,000 Gilded Social Prize.

The afternoon concludes with an open networking reception, giving attendees the opportunity to connect directly with judges, investors, and entrepreneurial leaders, followed by the EEE Award Ceremony honoring excellence across the community.
