Expanding Frontiers (ExF) is excited to launch its first annual Pitch Competition that will allow the emerging companies of the EIRA 2021 cohort to compete for cash prizes in a “Shark Tank” style event.
Save the Date: December 9, 2021 at 6:00 PM. While the Pitch Competition will be available to view virtually, there will be an in-person reception at Expanding Frontiers, 495 Amelia Earhart Drive, Suite A, Brownsville, Texas, 78521.
The companies competing for the cash prizes are graduates of ExF’s 2021 Entrepreneur in Residence Apprenticeship (EIRA) Program. EIRA was designed to offer aspiring entrepreneurs a clear pathway to NewSpace and energy entrepreneurship by matching them with NASA technologies available for licensing. Expanding Frontiers created this program to immerse participants in entrepreneurship training, supported by an extensive panel of experts as mentors.

The prize money will help the winning startups continue to fuel their development, knowing that this prize is not the destination, but part of their entrepreneurial journey to make a lasting commercial impact with their innovations.
ExF is a non-profit organization that relies on our generous sponsors for prize money. We feature our sponsors prominently throughout the competition, newsletter, events, and social media.
