Description: The South Coast Entrepreneurs Collaborative (SoCoECo) is working with the CIE to host the annual Piranha Pond pitch contest. Modeled after the popular television show "Shark Tank", it is a pitch contest for early stage companies. This year, for the first time, the best pitch will win over $10,000 in cash and in-kind services. Entrepreneurs will pitch for 5 minutes, and a panel of angel investors will determine the most compelling pitch. There will also be an audience favorite award.
The ideal company will be technology oriented, beyond the idea stage, have the potential to be a scale company, and will have raised funds from friends/family or grants such as SBIR's or state agencies.
