​In December, Colorado College students partnered with the City of Colorado Springs for the college’s first-ever hackathon centered on Community Revitalization. Given 24 hours, multidisciplinary teams tackled real challenges identified through the City’s 2025 Strategic Doing Actions - designing practical, forward-looking solutions and pitching them to a panel of judges.

​Now, these teams are bringing their ideas to the broader startup and innovation community.

​What You’ll See

​Student teams will pitch solutions across three core challenge tracks - each tied directly to the future of Colorado Springs:

​Infrastructure

​Strengthening mobility and connectivity through safer transportation options, enhanced parks and trails, and better public-space experiences.

​Public Safety

​Improving neighborhood safety, situational awareness, emergency readiness, and communication between the City and residents.

​Community Activation

​Creating tools and platforms that help residents engage more meaningfully in civic life, activate public spaces, and stay informed about city decisions.

​Why Attend

​Hear fresh, community-focused ideas from the next generation of innovators

​See how civic challenges can become launchpads for real-world solutions

​Connect with students, founders, mentors, and community leaders

​Support collaboration between higher education, local government, and the startup ecosystem

​Whether you’re a founder, mentor, investor, civic leader, or simply curious about how innovation can strengthen our city, this Pitch Night is for you.

​Come support these teams - and see what’s possible when community, creativity, and execution come together.
