Get Seeded Pitch Competition 6:00pm
Get Seeded Pitch Competition
Wednesday, December 6th, 2023
06:00 PM - 07:30 PM
Have a business idea? Looking for seed funding to help you get started? Get Seeded provides UConn students across all schools the opportunity to pitch their business ideas to a live virtual audience who then votes on which ideas are funded. 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.
Don’t have an idea yet? Not ready to pitch? Just want to watch other students pitch? Get Seeded pitch nights are open to the public and are a great way to network and connect!
Here’s how it works:
1. Interested students can apply to pitch an idea at one of our “Shark Tank style” pitch nights
2. Selected participants will then pitch their idea for 5 minutes at one of our virtual pitch nights to members of the audience
3. At the end of the night, the audience votes for their favorite ideas
4. The top 3 teams of the night will win $1,000, $750 and $500 respectively, in non-dilutive seed funding towards their new business venture or idea!
5. In April, the top five teams from our pitch nights are invited to pitch at Demo Day, where teams can win up to $5,000 in seed funding!2023-2024 Pitch Nights

Awards
MEM students are eligible for several awards. Awards are given for various criteria including academic achievement and involvement.
The MEM student experience is unique. In some ways, the rigorous curriculum may be challenging, but MEM students have some pretty unique benefits:
- Access to both the College of Engineering and the School of Business, including academic advising, career counseling, career fairs, student organizations and alumni groups
- A well-defined curriculum, which means you often are in classes with the same people
- A small program, meaning you have the chance to get to know other students fairly well
- Access to the MEM lab as a place to study, work on projects or just hang out
- Companies heavily recruiting MEM students as interns and for careers after graduation

If you’ve been around awhile you might have thought the MEM lab was just for the Introduction to Manufacturing Systems Lab (MEM 2212), and as we learned many students felt the labs were not usable for their own exploration and learning outside of class. That is about to change. Over the summer, the University and […]
