SHARK TANK OKC 2019
November 22, 2019
Yale Theater in Historic Capitol Hill
Doors open at 6pm
Social enterprise in the U.S. is a fast-growing movement. Harvard Business Review has previously noted Teach For America stands out as a prolific spawner of entrepreneurial leadership in education. Their findings support the reality that as an educational entrepreneurial incubator, TFA serves not only as a source of leaders and innovators in education, but as a model for educational leadership creation in itself.
It's in this spirit of innovation and progress that we invite you to join us for the 2nd annual Shark Tank OKC on November 22, 2019 to celebrate this year’s edupreneurs with food, fellowship, and funding alongside OKC educators, community leaders, and entrepreneurial partners all working together toward One Day.
New this year, Teach For America Oklahoma City Edupreneurs will be partnering with the University of Oklahoma Price College of Business' Tom Love Division of Entrepreneurship and Economic Development, where they'll learn business planning, financing and pitching technique in advance of the event. On the day of, a panel of sharks made up of local corporate and civic leaders will hear presentations in support of each Edupreneur's project to improve their classrooms, schools and communities before being encouraged to take a bite out of challenges facing our students by directly investing in these projects.
Come mix, mingle, and be a part of the live studio audience as the Edupreneurs pitch their ideas and the sharks select the next great idea moving us towards One Day!
