My sister and I are incredibly honored to have been able to share our vision for Granola’d. We couldn’t be more thankful for how much Lipscomb has done in helping us grow our business! The generosity of Mr. Kittrell and the supportive comments mirror the community we want to create around Granola’d in order to develop a business that glorifies the Lord!

If you have any creative ideas you want to explore, Kittrell is for you. It gives you a chance to get out and say, “This is something I’ve been working on - what do you think?” Beyond the funding, you get real feedback from a panel of expert judges that is invaluable as you try to grow your idea.

Ideas Funded Through Generosity

The Kittrell Pitch Competition is made possible by generous donations from alumnus and member of Lipscomb’s Board of Trustees, Marty Kittrell.


Kittrell is a long-time supporter of Lipscomb’s Center for Entrepreneurship and donates in honor of his father, William B. Kittrell, who was a 1941 graduate of Lipscomb.
