Sharks At The Beach

Entrepreneurship Program and Annual Pitch Event

Learn how to launch your business idea or grow your side hustle into a thriving business.

The Sharks At The Beach Entrepreneurship Program is an intensive program aimed at supporting aspiring entrepreneurs from initial concept to launch. The program provides business plan training along with the tools to establish goals and overcome challenges. With the support of expert coaches and mentors, the program concludes with a Shark Tank styled pitch event where participants present their business ideas to an expert panel of judges for an opportunity to win seed capital.

This 12-week program meets once per week on a weekday evening and offers emerging entrepreneurs:

  • Practical business training in planning and management and in-depth information on marketing, finance, operations, and other strategies.

  • The tools to establish a new business, operate with stability and sustainability, and ultimately achieve revenue.

  • It's all about relationships! Participants will be supported by mentors and coaches providing encouragement and sharing their expert insights.

  • An expanded network of community resources and access to capital funding.
