Delaware Does, A Unique Opportunity for Entrepreneurs to Pitch Their Ideas

DELAWARE, Ohio – The Delaware Entrepreneurial Center at Ohio Wesleyan University looks to set a surge in entrepreneurship by hosting the Delaware Does event on February 16, 2023 from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM and will be held at the Delaware Entrepreneurial Center located at 70 S. Sandusky St. Delaware, Ohio 43015.

Delaware Does is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to present their business ideas to a group of over 50 fellow entrepreneurs, potential investors, financial institutions, and business resource providers.

According to Megan Ellis, the Executive Director of the Delaware Entrepreneurial Center at Ohio Wesleyan University, “We have many local entrepreneurs pitching this month, including students from the Delaware Area Career Center, along with a veteran with an idea creating an air bnb like system for veterans to access.”

Similar to a traditional Startup Weekend pitch night, this event is different in that there is no break out to build a company in a weekend. According to Ellis “the atmosphere of the event is interactive and supportive, not like anything you would see on ‘Shark Tank,’ creating an environment where entrepreneurs can receive valuable feedback and make connections to grow their entrepreneurial mindset in the Delaware Area. “

There are a range of opportunities available for those interested in pitching their ideas at future Delaware Does events. Delaware Does is an every other month event and future dates for 2023 include April 6th, July 13th, September 7th, and November 2nd. If you are interested in pitching an idea at a future event, please contact Megan Ellis at [email protected] for more information.

The Delaware Entrepreneurial Center is also reaching out to local entrepreneurs who are interested in becoming mentors to those with a startup idea, and also for people looking to receive mentorship who have a business idea.

Tickets for the February 16th Delaware Does event can be ordered online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/delaware-does-entrepreneurship-tickets-523730661507.

This is a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas, make valuable connections, and be a part of the entrepreneurial community in Delaware.
