SHARK TANK DEAL LOUNGE

​CTRL+ALT RESPAWN: Shark Tank Deal Lounge

​A high-stakes capital challenge where founders pitch directly to 4–5 sector-aligned funds — live scoring, real deal flow, and Deal Room advancement.

​About This Event

​This isn’t a networking mixer — it’s a focused investment arena built for the innovation economy.

​Each startup enters an industry-specific session where one founder presents directly to 4–5 sector-aligned investment funds at the same time, with a single objective: advance to the Deal Room.
