A new kind of pitch competition—built for outdoor-minded innovators, not just polished presenters. We’re flipping the script on traditional stage-style competitions and inviting Michigan outdoor entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas through real conversations, hands-on demos, and community connection.

This fall, ten finalists will host interactive booths at the 2025 Michigan Outdoor Summit, sharing their product, service, or venture with judges and attendees alike. No awkward spotlight. No clunky slides. No one lobbing impossible questions while you dance uncomfortably on stage. Just a 6-foot table, a good product or service, and the kind of energy you bring to campfire conversations.
