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.

Seven 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.
