This year’s MBA Pitch Competition gathered the 100 entrepreneurs in the 2024-25 cohort at The Bomb Factory in Deep Ellum alongside family and friends to celebrate their accomplishments throughout the program.
Although the business development sessions are coming to a close for this year’s cohort, the relationships these entrepreneurs developed with the Dallas Mavericks, program sponsors, and one another will continue to pay dividends.
As part of last Saturday’s pitch competition, several entrepreneurs not presenting hosted an expo to showcase their products to the nearly 300 attendees who filled the venue.
Before the competitors took center stage, Mavs CEO Rick Welts, whose entrepreneurial spirit has guided countless accomplishments throughout his career, spoke to the program’s success in elevating diverse business owners and shared his enthusiasm for the future of all involved.
