After applying and being selected, BGSU student entrepreneurs (Hatchlings) present their business ideas to Falcon Investors during The Hatch®, vying for funds to launch their businesses in a format similar to the popular television show “Shark Tank.”

What sets The Hatch® apart from similar events is that the Falcon Investors make equity investments providing real money for students to incubate real businesses. To date, more than $800,000 has been committed to student startups.

This event is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni and the general public. Registration is required.
