Global Pitch Competitions outline and details

TAMID will host three global pitch competitions over the course of the semester. While participation in the pitch competitions is optional, it is highly encouraged. It gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in real pitch scenarios, receive feedback, and interact with industry professionals. Detailed instructions can be found in the Fund Handbook below.

Pitch 1

Mid-Semester Stock Pitch

You can choose either an Israeli company, or a company with demonstrable connections to Israel. Then you will create a stock pitch based on your chosen company, pitching the trade for TAMID to consider executing in the TAMID portfolio.

Pitch 2

Investment Banking Pitch

Teams will act as investment bankers pitching a strategic recommendation to one of the following Israeli companies: SolarEdge (SEDG), Wix.com (WIX), Playtika (PLTK), ZIM Shipping (ZIM). Strategic recommendations will include proposals to act on the company’s behalf to acquire another company (buy-side mandate) or to raise debt or equity financing (financing mandate).

Pitch 3

End of Semester Stock Pitch

This will have the same structure as the first pitch. It will be due on the same day as the PE pitch, and teams can choose whether to submit the stock pitch or the PE pitch.

Due: March 16th, 11:59 pm EST

Due: May 4th, 11:59 pm EST

Due: May 4th, 11:59 pm EST

Submission Process

Chapters should hold an internal stock pitch competition to decide which pitch should be submitted for the deadline. TAMID Global will review 2 submissions per chapter per round.

The 5 best pitches from each round will have their trades executed in our portfolio, as well as get the opportunity to present their pitch to a panel of professional judges, receive feedback, and ask questions! The overall winner, as decided by the judges, will receive a $150 prize that will be added to their chapter’s budget.
