CICEO Shark Tank Pitch 2023 was a great success! We want to thank our sharks,
Bruce Nims of Millikin University Center for Entrepreneurship
Mary Diener of Blue Ridge High School (Illinois)
Ben Cochran of Northwestern Mutual
and Michelle Sawicki of Barclay Public Library

Each student gave a 3-5 minute pitch on their business. They then answered questions from the sharks and received feedback. Concluding the student pitches the sharks select one student to award $250 to help them to continue to grow their business. The sharks look at overall pitch, creativity and sustainability from a feasibility standpoint. The cash prize is made possible by Northwestern Mutual.

Congrats to Jack Horve who was selected as the winner of the Shark Tank! All of the students did an amazing job and worked so hard at preparing their presentations!
