REVERSE TANK
Reverse Shark Tank is a distinctive and immersive case-based competition that flips the conventional "Shark Tank" format on its head. Instead of pitching their ideas, participants take on the role of venture capitalists (VCs), tasked with critically evaluating real-world business pitches presented by companies. This dynamic event challenges participants to think like investors, analyze business models, assess potential risks and rewards, and decide where they would allocate their investment funds.
The competition unfolds over two engaging stages:
Pitch Evaluation Round: Participants listen to real-world business pitches, where companies present their vision, strategy, and growth plans. Acting as venture capitalists, the teams assess the feasibility, scalability, and innovation behind each idea. They dive deep into financial metrics, market analysis, and competitive advantages to decide which pitch aligns best with their investment goals.
Investment Thesis Presentation: The following day, participants present their investment thesis, showcasing the reasoning behind their decisions. They explain the thought process that guided their evaluations, highlight key factors that influenced their choice, and defend their investments with data-driven insights. This stage emphasizes the importance of analytical reasoning, strategic thinking, and persuasive communication skills.
Reverse Shark Tank is more than just a competition—it’s an opportunity to simulate the high-stakes world of venture capital. It allows participants to experience the challenges and excitement of identifying and supporting promising businesses, equipping them with real-world skills that are highly valuable in the entrepreneurial and investment landscape.
Perfect for aspiring investors, strategists, and entrepreneurs, this event promises a thrilling blend of learning, collaboration, and competition.
