These virtual pitch nights showcase student entrepreneurs presenting their innovative ideas and competing for seed funding, with the chance to turn their concepts into reality.

​Why Attend?

• ​Watch UConn students pitch their groundbreaking ideas and see the future of entrepreneurship unfold.

• ​Connect with like-minded individuals, potential collaborators, and future leaders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

• ​Be part of a community that fosters and supports the next generation of entrepreneurs.

​Students that are selected to pitch have an opportunity to earn up to $1,000 in seed funding for their idea as well as support from other students who may be interested in joining their business venture.

​Each team has 5 minutes to pitch, followed by 3 minutes of Q&A. After all pitches, attendees vote to determine which teams receive $500, $750 or $1000 in seed funding.
