THREE CORE ELEMENTS
Our Dolphin Tank sessions have been featured in corporate board rooms, business school competitions, and at entrepreneurial association conferences across the world. While the venues and audiences may change, every session shares three core elements:
THE PRESENTERS
Companies are selected through an application process or by referral from our partners and affiliates. Guidelines and prep calls are provided.
THE PITCH
Companies deliver a 3-minute pitch, including a specific “ask” addressing a challenge or a unique opportunity.
THE AUDIENCE
Solutions, connections, and strategies are crowd-sourced from the audience, and all are provided a means to connect digitally.
