In partnership with the City of Denton, Stoke presents the Denton Pitch Competition (DPC), a shark-tank style pitch competition on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Join us at Sunago Bell as local entrepreneurs and small business owners take the stage to pitch their business to a panel of judges and an enthusiastic audience for a shot at one of three cash prizes.

Come out and show your support for Denton's entrepreneurs and small businesses as ten innovative Denton-based companies pitch for their chance to win. Then, be sure to stay for happy hour networking and the Entrepreneur Expo following the event. This is your chance to congratulate the winners, connect with like-minded individuals, and show your support for some local entrepreneurs as they share their passions.
