Get Seeded Pitch Nights: 2024-2025

Need funding to launch your idea? Receive up to $1,000 to fund your business idea from Get Seeded! In order to be considered, please fill out this application. If selected, you will be invited to participate in our next live pitch event, in which you will pitch to a live audience for funding. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and teams are notified of their acceptance up to one week prior to a pitch night. If you don’t get selected to pitch, please join us at the event for networking and the opportunity to vote on the ideas that are funded. You only need to submit an application once to be considered for all six pitch nights. Funding cannot be used for: (1) any travel not affiliated with customer research or discovery; (2) the purchase, rent, and renovation of office/business space; (3) equipment that is not the core of the business (e.g., cell phones, laptops, etc.); (4) salaries; (5) cost of inventory not directly related to marketing/prototyping. Any questions on the appropriate use of funding will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Contact alycia.chrosniak@uconn.edu with questions/concerns.
