Funding Aggie student entrepreneurs? That's Good Bull.

Good Bull Pitch

Good Bull Pitch officially launched fall 2025 as the first program fully developed by members of the McFerrin Experience Team.

Good Bull Pitch aims to provide a continuous, non-diluting source of funding for Aggie student entrepreneurs over the course of a single semester. With two separate and unique tracks that meet students where they are, both competitors and audience members will be a part of strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem and helping to build new student ventures and businesses.

Visit the “Tracks” tab to learn more about how Good Bull Pitch will engage with specific types of student entrepreneurs.

Ahead of each track-specific competition date, the top five applicants from the Maroon OR White track will be invited to pitch to a panel of judges and compete for cash funding.

Spring 2026 Dates

All Good Bull Pitch competition events will be held at 6:45 p.m. at the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship. Parking in the lot surrounding the McFerrin Center is free and does not require a parking permit or utilize bus route 05 (stop: Technology Loop). Where in the world is McFerrin?

Good Bull Pitch Tracks

Maroon

The Maroon track is specifically for businesses that seek to scale incredibly fast, with the focus of building an ever-higher valuation to eventually go public or be acquired by a large corporation. An applicant in this track might be a software-based venture that is focusing on leverage and scalability in order to service as many customers as possible, as quickly as possible. These ventures may have an average 10-year time space to reach profitability before a founder is seeking to exit.

White

The White track focuses on businesses seeking to provide goods and services to customers in their geographic area. An applicant in this track might have a home-servicing business, manufacture a self-care product or run a food/beverage-based business. These businesses may be seeking to achieve profitability as quickly as possible, with the focus on generating cash flows in order to maintain and fund their business and livelihood.

Competition Requirements:

  • The entire team must consist of current Texas A&M University students (undergraduate or graduate).
  • The applicant must certify that they will use the funds they receive (if they receive funds) to advance their business and provide basic next steps once they have received funding.
  • The applicant must be able to provide a basic business plan as part of the application.
  • The applicant must agree to a monthly check-in with the McFerrin Experience Team to discuss how business operations are proceeding.
  • If in the Maroon track, the applicant must provide a capitalization table including non-dilutive funds to reflect that they are continuing to raise funds to advance their idea for four months following the award.
  • If in the White track, the applicant must provide a basic P&L (Profit & Loss) statement to reflect that operations are in fact occurring every month for four months following the award.
