Get Seeded Pitch Nights were developed to give students the opportunity to help move their business ideas forward by providing them with seed funding, mentorship, and next step resources. Here’s how it works:
1. Interested participants can apply to pitch an idea at one of our Shark Tank style pitch nights
2. Selected participants will then pitch their idea for 5 minutes at one of our pitch nights to members of the audience
3. The audience then gets 3 minutes of Q+A with each team
3. At the end of the night, the audience votes for their favorite team
4. The top 3 teams of the night will win up to $1,000 in seed funding towards their new business venture or idea
4. In the spring, the top five teams from our pitch nights are invited to pitch at Demo Day, where teams can win up to $5,000 in seed funding.
