What is this committee?
One Thousand Pitches (also known as 1KP) is a semester-long pitch competition where we (actually!) collect a thousand pitches from USC students and community members. We give all students the ability to participate for the chance to win seed money.

Why does it matter?
- Unlike any other pitch competition run on campus before, this one has the strongest ability to foster entrepreneurial thought within communities of all backgrounds and interests. We’re trying to break down the high barriers to entry for those who may have good, unique ideas but lack the resources or relationship with traditional business to typically pitch.
Link to Mission:
- We inspire a culture of innovation by prompting students on campus to think about the challenges their communities face, as well as enabling them to design solutions.
- We expose students to their creative potential by fostering a platform to share ideas that can generate real impact and giving them resources to grow them to their potential.
- We connect makers across diverse communities by showcasing all the pitches from different backgrounds and skillsets.
