​The Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is pleased to present the fifth annual Get Seeded Demo Day!

​At this virtual event, five student teams from UConn CCEI's Get Seeded Program will pitch their unique concepts to a panel of alumni judges—the “Huskies” in the Husky Den. The top three teams will receive additional funding to further enhance their projects – up to $5,000!

​You’re invited to join us to vote alongside the judges. This is an exclusive opportunity to see UConn’s innovators in action and be part of the mentoring and cultivating of new entrepreneurs. Your vote will help teams take their vision to the next level.
