VentureCat is Northwestern’s annual student startup competition and celebrates the University’s most promising student founders.
The program culminates in a pitch competition in which a prize pool of $175K+ in non-dilutive prize money is distributed to student ventures.
Join us on Wednesday, May 28 at 6 PM CT for the Public Showcase where we will feature the six finalist teams and their pitches. You will get the chance to vote to award our audience favorite prize and we will announce our finals prize winners–including the grand prize of $100,000.
This year, we're welcoming 2024 finalists Izzy Mokotoff '24 and Scott Tsangeos '24 back to the VentureCat stage as the event MCs!
Our 25 semifinalist teams will span five tracks - Business Products & Services; Consumer Products & Services; Energy & Sustainability; Life Sciences & Medical Innovation; and Social Impact.
