The Inferno Pitch guides students from the idea phase through the process of developing and eventually monetizing their idea and legally protecting it and was inspired by NSU’s business administration concentration in entrepreneurship. Students learn to apply concepts to a real-world experience and have the opportunity to network with industry experts, collaborate with other students, earn scholarships and see their business idea develop from concept to commercialization.
