Overview
This shark tank-style pitch competition provides five University of Rochester student startups from diverse disciplines and schools with an opportunity to compete in front of a panel of esteemed judges for substantial cash prizes and a Passport from the OneValley (formerly GSVlabs), which offers access to 100+ mentors, hundreds of templates and guides, and $450,000 in free and discounted services.
In light of the pandemic, the event is going virtual in 2020 with selected student teams invited to submit polished video pitches in advance. A synchronous remote event showcasing the videos and teams, followed by a live Q&A with the judges will take place in front of a virtual audience.
