SEED20 2018

Overview

Created by Social Venture Partners (SVP), the annual SEED20 program identifies, highlights and connects the community to our region’s most innovative ideas for tackling pressing social challenges.

Held at the Bechtler Museum and Knight Theater on April 16, 2018, SEED20 OnStage is more than a competition. It’s also a big celebration—a chance to network and support social entrepreneurs and the energy and ideas they bring to our region. For 2018, we are introducing reserved seating, so gather your friends and colleagues and be sure to purchase your tickets early for the best seats. 

All twenty nonprofit entrepreneurs will be showcased at the event. Vying for prizes, up to ten finalists will give fast-paced three-minute pitches of their ideas to a panel of judges and to the live audience. You, as part of the audience, will have a chance to vote for your favorite!

Ticket price includes:  Admission to the high-energy, inspiring pitch competition as well as drinks, dinner and mingling before and after the event. You asked and we're delivering! With an extended Happy Hour before the live event and reserved seating, this year you'll have more time to enjoy your dinner and get to know the nonprofits.
