Piranha Tank – NEW THIS YEAR! Enter the “Piranha Tank!” Co-sponsored by JCU’s LaunchNET program funded by the Burton D. Morgan Foundation, the Piranha Tank invites aspiring entrepreneurs from across the JCU community to pitch their business idea in a “Shark Tank” style event. This competition will be accepting applications beginning February 15, 2021, through March 26, 2021. Students create a short, 2-3 minute video presenting their idea to an audience (pretend investors and partners) to be judged for cash prizes.
