Join us for the 12th annual Business INCubator Pitch Night in the BHS auditorium at 6pm! Student groups from the Business INCubator program at BHS will pitch their companies to investors during a "Shark Tank"-style presentation. The five teams presenting at the 12th Annual Pitch Night include: 

  • Cha Ching: an automated AI-powered shopping assistant that helps you find the best alternative to products you are looking to purchase while shopping online. Instagram
  • Frost Buster: a preventative spray designed to be applied to windshields and windows before freezing conditions, forming a protective barrier that stops ice from bonding to the glass. Website
  • Pathfinder: an app that helps students and their families discover personalized scholarships tailored to their unique backgrounds, interests, and financial needs-making the search process faster, easier, and more effective. Website
  • Holdmate: a MagSafe-compatible container that attaches to iPhones for easy, secure storage of retainers and clear aligners. Website
  • Paintscapers: an all-in-one platform that connects homeowners with trusted painters, offering photo-based quotes, reliable scheduling, and easy, secure payment-all in one place. Website

Believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, the Business INCubator program was started at Barrington High School during the 2013-14 school year. Since the program's inception, it has grown nationally and internationally.
