Get Seeded Pitch Competition
Get Seeded Pitch Competition
Wednesday, March 20th, 2024
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:
- Interested students can apply to pitch an idea at one of our “Shark Tank style” pitch nights
- Selected participants will then pitch their idea for 5 minutes at one of our virtual pitch nights to members of the audience
- At the end of the night, the audience votes for their favorite ideas
- 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!
- 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!

Monday, April 15th, 2024
05:00 PM
Over one billion people worldwide live with a disability, and 88% percent of persons with invisible disabilities choose not to disclose them at work in order to avoid stigma and discrimination. Join us for an interview with Lawrence Deju-Wiseman, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley, and a person with an invisible disability, for a thought-provoking discussion of invisible disabilities in finance and business. Lawrence will share his personal story about living with an invisible disability and show how persons with invisible disabilities can thrive in hiring, career progression, and leadership. Lawrence will also discuss the legal, commercial, and ethical imperatives for organizations to support persons with individual disabilities, and show how new technologies and practices are transforming how companies think about persons with disabilities in their workforce. This event is open to students, faculty, staff, and alumni, and is for anyone who is interested in how persons with disabilities can thrive in modern organizations.
