Antlion Pit is designed to empower ESA members to develop and present their innovative ideas for entomology-related products and services. The competition encourages the development of the entrepreneurial spirit through idea leadership, innovation, teamwork, and mentorship. The venture idea may focus on a technology, product, process, service, or social venture. Teams are given five minutes to present their pitch, followed by eight minutes of questions from judges and the audience.
