The Get Seeded program is off to a great start this semester. In the last two months, 18 student-run startups have been funded for a combined total of $34,540.60. The Get Seeded business pitch competition has been helping student startups move forward with their next milestone by giving seed funding to those practicing lean startup principles.
Not having financial resources to move forward with a potential business opportunity isn’t an excuse anymore. For student entrepreneurs who have developed and idea, done market validation and completed research, there is an opportunity to pitch and win. All that needs to be done to enter the competition is apply at https://getseeded2016.startupcompete.co/ by Thursday, November 3. Applications go through two rounds of judging by Eccles MBA students, then the finalists pitch to an audience where majority vote crowns the winners.
The next final pitch event is scheduled for Nov. 17. If you want to check it out, come by Lassonde Studios at 5 p.m. to enjoy free pizza and vote on the competitors. For additional inquiries, email getseeded@gmail.com.
