PCT’s Entrepreneurship Network offers a hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship, covering core topics such as market analysis, startup finance legal structures, and industrial specific applications. Participants engage with industry professionals through speakers and apply their knowledge by developing startup ideas in a “Shark tank”-style competition. The program emphasizes collaboration, communication, and practical problem-solving to equip students with real job entrepreneur skills.
Shark-Tank Case Competition
Have an idea that could change the game? This semester-long challenge is your chance to bring it to life. Hosted by PCT, participants get hands-on training, mentorship, and all the resources needed to craft a winning business concept - from initial idea to a polished pitch.
​​​
No prior experience? No problem. We’ll guide you through every step, from market research to building a financial model and delivering a compelling presentation. By the end, you’ll pitch your idea “Shark Tank”-style to a panel of experienced judges.​
​
The prize? Seed funding to kickstart your idea plus the opportunity to present directly to the school’s Venture Capital Club - your shot at taking things to the next level.
