2026 ALL-STATE NEVADA
ENTREPRENEURS OF CHARACTER
YOUTH PITCH COMPETITION

Gold Mind is proud to host the Entrepreneurs of Character Youth Pitch Competition, offering high school students a hands-on opportunity to step into the world of entrepreneurship. As Nevada’s first competition of its kind, the program is designed to empower the next generation of American entrepreneurs by challenging students to develop innovative technology ideas with a strong focus on humanitarian impact. Participants will craft and present a compelling pitch grounded in research, critical thinking, and purpose.
Selected finalists will have the opportunity to refine their ideas through an exclusive pitch workshop, gaining valuable mentorship and feedback to strengthen their presentation skills and business concepts. This experience will culminate in a live pitch competition, where students will present their ideas before a panel of judges and a live audience.
The overall winning individual or team selected by judges will receive a cash prize of $2,500 AND Deluxe Weekend Stay Package at SAHARA Las Vegas (valued $750). The Audience Choice will be awarded $500. Winners may be invited to continue developing their idea with incubation support from Gold Mind.
