10/17 Wolff New Venture Competition
Wolff New Venture Competition
Tuesday, October 17th, 202305:30 PM - 08:30 PM Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The Wolff New Venture Competition features live pitches by the top startups coming out of UConn, and gives away over $50,000 in non-dilutive funding to the startups each year.
The legwork for the Wolff New Venture Competition begins in the spring, where 10 startups are hand selected by an independent panel to participate in the CCEI Summer Fellowship Program. Here, CCEI works to strengthen the support for the university’s top entrepreneurial teams and take them beyond business concepts and towards market readiness.
After this eight week accelerator, the teams present their final pitches and the top startups are selected to compete in the Wolff New Venture Competition; chosen on a basis of venture viability and value added to the market.
At the event, a panel of venture experts then decides which teams are worthy of the $50,000+ in awards funding.
The doors will open for the event at 5:30pm with beverages and appetizers. The program will begin promptly at 6pm.
