Learn the basics of creating a pitch deck for your startup. A great pitch deck gets your audience excited about your idea and engages them in a conversation about your business — hopefully leading to investment. In this workshop we’ll cover what slides you should include in your deck, how you should structure your pitch and how to make your deck look visually appealing.

Get Seeded pitch nights are open to all UConn students! The audience plays a role in deciding which teams are actually funded. After all pitches conclude, each audience member votes for the team they liked the best.

Focused on innovation and sustainability, the “Germany on Campus” symposium will include a keynote speaker, alumni from our German Studies dual degree programs in Business (EUROBIZ) and Engineering (EUROTECH), and a panel discussion with German companies doing business in Connecticut!

In this session, you will learn about three general topics affecting new businesses. First, we’ll walk through “Choice of Entity and Governance Documents,” to help you determine what type of legal entity you would operate your business through—whether it’s a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, non-profit, or a host of other potential options—and then learn about the required regulatory filings and operating documents needed for each type. Next, we’ll review some key issues in governance, which will teach you about the duties of founders to other co-founders, investors, and interested third parties. Finally, we’ll discuss “Legal Audit,” which will be more interactive and walk you through how to conduct a regulatory and contractual audit for a business.
