By now you must have heard, the fourth annual Shark Tank competition was a huge success.\u00a0 Originally advertised that teams could win “up to $10,000,” the final pay out was $14,500! With four great pitches, two winning teams and a panel of successful alumni judges, I can hardly wait to see what is in store for next year.\u00a0 Many thanks to everyone involved!<\/p>\n
