Get Seeded is a NEW initiative at UConn sponsored by the Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation in collaboration with the Werth Institute and other University sponsors including the Management Department, UConn Libraries and Innovation Quest. The program was developed to provide students with small amounts of seed funding to help move their ideas forward. It is our hope that the ideas generated through this program will allow students to apply for larger programs/competitions for more funding including: IDEA Grant, iQ, Accelerate UConn, Summer Fellowship, etc. We also hope that students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation will attend the public pitches to help inspire them to create ideas of their own.
Teams who applied by 1/23 will be selected to pitch at the January 29th Get Seeded pitch night. If you missed this deadline you can still apply to one of the other pitch dates listed below:
- January 29, 2019 6:30-8:30 p.m. Werth Tower, Idea Lab (room 112/113)
- March 5, 2019
- April 15, 2019
The pitch events are open to the public. Please invite your friends to attend because the audience selects who gets funded! Teams will receive up to $1,000 to help fund their startup.
