Wesleyan Shark Tank: A Live Pitch Event

​Presented by the Patricelli Center for Entrepreneurship in partnership with the Digital Wes Alumni Network.

Wesleyan Shark Tank is a student-led accelerator designed to teach founders how to pitch. Our cohort has spent the semester scaling their companies, all building toward one night on stage in front of real investors.

​6:00 - 7:00 PM — Networking Reception (Balcony Lobby)
7:00 - 9:00 PM — Live Pitch Event

That's this event. Six student-founders have been selected to pitch to a panel of angel investors who can invest on the spot (Shark Tank style). You'll see every pitch, every question from the judges, and every investment decision — live.

At the end of the night, the audience votes to award one founder a $5,000 grant, so come ready to pick your favorite.

​This is for alumni, founders, investors, family, friends, and anyone who wants to see what's happening at the intersection of Wesleyan and entrepreneurship.

​We've been documenting the whole story on our weekly Youtube series and Substack newsletter. Check them out for the behind-the-scenes scoop!
