Compete against your peers for venture funding.

ideaction global pitch competition

A hands-on educational experience that invites high school students to practice public speaking, engage in healthy competition, and earn venture capital.

healthy competition for high school entrepreneurs

The IdeAction Global Pitch Competition is a biannual opportunity for young leaders around the world to win funding for their businesses, organizations, and other signature projects. It's modeled after real-world events wherein adult entrepreneurs compete for venture capital backing or other investment opportunities. IdeAction is sponsored and funded by the LIL Venture Fund. 


This funding cycle is open. Entries due October 10, 2025. 

how IdeAction works

For more information, contact mingming.gobert@leadershipinnovationlab.org.

You can only register for our IdeAction Global Pitch Competition during an open funding cycle, either in Spring or Fall. If the funding cycle is open and we're accepting applicants, you can submit the following via email to mingming.gobert@leadershipinnovationlab.org by the registration deadline October 10, 2025:


  • The IdeAction Global Pitch Competition registration form (available for download on this page), duly completed.
  • A recorded video (10 minutes or less) of you or your team’s project pitch. In this video, you are free to use any means to make your case, including but not limited to visual aids, infographics, pitch decks, photographs, re-enactments, skits etc. You are welcome to use this opportunity to be creative, if you wish. 


We'll announce the winners of each IdeAction Global Pitch Competition, as well as their awarded amounts, at the biannual Student Research and Innovation Showcase that corresponds with your funding cycle (Spring or Fall).


Since this is an event for high school students that's designed to be an immersive educational experience for all participants, we welcome applicants of all experience levels. To help you prepare, we offer a pitch template and a crash course for you to reference, which you can download on this page.
