The Zingale Big Idea Competition is a student-focused seed-funding business pitch presentation competition. It is designed for new business ideas which have yet-to-receive funding. The Annual Competition will award a whopping total of $25,000 in prize money among the student winners. This contest emulates the experiences seen on the popular CNBC broadcast, Shark Tank, but with a heart. Unlike Shark Tank, the Zingale Big Idea distinguished judges do more than evaluate business models – they offer constructive feedback, coaching, and encouragement.
