  • 5 Student Startups Pitch for $5,000

    The Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, in partnership with the UConn Foundation, is pleased to present the third annual Get Seeded Demo Day.

    At this virtual event, the top five student teams from UConn’s Get Seeded Program will pitch their unique concepts to a panel of alumni judges—the “Huskies” in the Husky Den. The top three teams will receive additional funding to further enhance their projects – up to $5,000!

    You’re invited to join us in the Husky Den and vote alongside the judges. This is an exclusive opportunity to see UConn’s innovators in action and be part of the mentoring and cultivating of new entrepreneurs. Your vote will help teams take their vision to the next level.
