Student Activities

  • Apply To The Get Seeded Pitch Competition

    Get Seeded was 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 students 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. At the end of the night, the audience votes for their favorite idea

    4. The top 3 teams of the night will win $1,000, $750 and $500 respectively, in non-dilutive seed funding towards their new business venture or idea

    5.  In April, 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 

     

    The FINAL Pitch Night of the semester is Tuesday, March 29, 2022 at 6:00pm!
