The competition allows student teams to analyze a multifaceted business case and use their problem-solving skills to present their findings before a panel of the nation’s top thought-leaders. The NBMBAA® awarded over $150K combined for scholarships and funding of start-up businesses who placed in their annual Scale Up Pitch Challenge sponsored by FedEx Corporation.
