Road to LionCage – Young Entrepreneurs

Road to LionCage is a series of small, intimate pitch competitions that lead to the main LionCage Pitch Competition to be held on November 14. Each one will have a different topic or focus.

The September 30 session is focused on Young Entrepreneurs.

If you are you a student entrepreneur from a high school located across the six-county community of southeastern Pennsylvania with a big idea for a startup company, then Road to LionCage is for you! We invite high school students who are current or aspiring entrepreneurs to apply for this special pitch competition!

This is your chance to:

• Pitch your startup or idea in front of a live audience
• Connect with real entrepreneurs and mentors
• Win a spot at LionCage 2025, the region’s top pitch competition

Whether you’ve got a tech idea, a solution to an old problem, or a big dream, we want to hear from you. Bring your passion, your creativity, and your hustle.

But this is so much more than just a pitch competition.

Join us as we celebrate and support start-ups and entrepreneurs who are driving innovation and business success across southeastern Pennsylvania. Hear an informative panel discussion featuring successful entrepreneurs and business leaders followed by a pitch competition and closing reception where we’ll announce our winner and runner-up!

Guests are welcome and encouraged to attend, cheer on their favorite entrepreneur, listen to an inspiring panel discussion on what it takes to be an entrepreneur, and make new connections with business and community leaders.
