What is the FulPitch Challenge?
We are challenging youth to solve the greatest challenges that face their communities and the world! At Fulphil, we believe impact comes in all shapes and sizes that the people closest to the problems are closest to the solutions. We are launching this challenge in hopes of inspiring youth to get innovative and create meaningful entrepreneurial solutions for humanity and the planet.
For the first time ever, the Fulphil Pitch Challenge will be hosted online and is free to enter. This will be the opportunity for our students to broadcast their next big ideas in the making to the rest of the world, meet VIP speakers and mentors, and mingle with fellow peers.
