  • #23 | How to perfect your pitch: 10K Pitch Prize competition - with Gelion Care, CARAPAX and Thoughtful Oasis (from Enschede Slush'D 2025)
    Nov 19 2025

    Sweaty palms, quivering voice... Pitching isn't always easy. So how do you go about it - especially when there's €10K at stake?

    Bekk Blando (Thoughtful Oasis, UT), Anne Vortkamp (CARAPAX), and Shahriar Mirpour (Gelion Care, TU/e) were among the lucky teams selected to pitch in the 10K Pitch Competition. The day after they delivered their pitch for the judges - and right before the start of Enschede Slush'D 2025 - we talked about their experience and what they did to nail their pitch.

    After the recording, Shahriar and his team of Gelion Care took home the win.

    What’s it like to participate in a student challenge? How does it work? And how does it feel to pitch your idea in front of a live audience and a panel of judges? Three student teams from different universities talk about their experiences with the 4TU Impact Challenge.

Tim Tiek (Brilliance RGB - UT) & Rabih Hamid (maxairea - WUR) joined the mission to Hello Tomorrow in Paris. Now, several months later during Enschede Slush'D, they look back on the mission and the steps taken afterwards.
