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:
- Interested participants can apply to pitch an idea.
- Participants are then selected to pitch their idea for 5 minutes at one of our 5 pitch nights to judges and members of the audience.
- Teams can win up to $1,000 in seed funding towards their new business venture or idea.
- In the spring, the top five teams are invited to pitch at Demo Day, where teams can win up to $5,000 in seed funding .
Participate or attend the virtual pitch nights:
- Tuesday, Oct. 19, from 6 to 8 p.m.
- Tuesday, Nov. 30, from 6 to 8 p.m.
