Join us for a night of big ideas and innovative solutions as we showcase some of the incredible talent of the 2020 University of Melbourne’s Master of Entrepreneurship graduating cohort.

A favourite event on our Wade calendar, Showcase Pitch Night celebrates the amazing achievements of the University of Melbourne’s Master of Entrepreneurship graduating cohort.

It’s been a crazy year all round, but that hasn’t stopped them from demonstrating their entrepreneurial spirit and coming up with some fantastic solutions to real-world problems.

The students have been intensively building their business ideas over the last 12 weeks and we can’t wait to see what they have come up with!

Five startups from the cohort will pitch on the night for the chance to win a share of $10,000 in seed funding.

There will be Q&A from a high-calibre judging panel:

• Peter Wade - Benefactor, Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship
• Judy Anderson - CEO, Startup Victoria
• Ariane Barker - CEO, Scale Investors & VC Catalyst alumna

Whilst the judges determine the winners, you'll get to have your say by casting a LIVE vote for your favourite team in the People's Choice Award!

Come along and cheer on our emerging talent, support the Australian startup ecosystem and connect with the Wade community.

We look forward to seeing you there,

- The Wade team
