The stress continues to grow as the students prepare for Pitch Day on all-new episode of "Startup U," airing on Thursday, October 1st, 2015 at 5:00PM ET/PT on ABC Family.

In "Motivation," it's only two weeks before Pitch Day, and everyone is really feeling the pressure. Tim shifts the focus from team challenges to preparing for the big day. Everyone must go over their Pitch Decks to Charlie before presenting their business ideas to a room full of tough venture capitalists. Carly visits a local ANIMAL shelter to do some market research on Pretty Litter, but some feedback from one of the staff members forces her to reconsider her methodology. When Carly later expresses her concerns to Charlie, he has an intriguing solution. David is not happy when guest speaker Naveen Jain (Co-Founder and Chairman, Moon Express) challenges his business idea, but he is determined to move forward and makes an important local connection. Meanwhile, Tim shares some hard truths during his one-on-one meetings.

"Startup U" is produced by Ugly Brother Studios, a Sky Vision partner. Mike Duffy, Tim Duffy, Tim Draper, Perry Dance and Ted Iredell serve as executive producers.
