About the event

Vol Court is a four-week entrepreneurial speaker series that culminates in a business idea pitch competition. Participants put what they’ve learned into practice by pitching their business ideas to a panel of successful entrepreneurs for a chance to win $1,500.

Vol Court sessions are held on Tuesday evenings during the fall and spring semesters. UT students, faculty, staff, alumni, and local community members are all welcome to attend. Current UT students who attend two of the three speaker sessions in person will be eligible to pitch in week four. Winners of other competitions are not eligible to pitch the same business idea at Vol Court, but you are encouraged to attend and learn from our speakers. There is no application or cost to attend this series.

Session Four on Tuesday, October 1, is Pitch Night!
