Wright Venture 2020 Presentation
Wright Venture is an entrepreneurial opportunity modeled after Shark Tank, an ABC TV reality competition series that features aspiring entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of potential investors. Our goal is to create a real-life, lasting experience similar to an actual business startup, including networking, mentorship, creative idea development, product design, service creation, financial management, business planning, and marketing all offered free by Wright State faculty, staff, and local and regional sponsors.
Make it to the final competition for a chance to earn a $5,000 investment in your business.
