What is Spark Tank?

Every year, Endicott College's Angle Center for Entrepreneurship hosts their Spark Tank event. Endicott’s student entrepreneurs present their ideas to a panel of judges representing a variety of industries. Students from any school or major (as well as alumni who graduated within the past five years) are welcome to try to compete for $15,000 in funding to finance their startups.

Competition Prizes

  • 1st place: $10,000
  • 2nd place: $3,000
  • 3rd place: $2,000

Spark Tank funding helps students take the next step toward bringing their ideas to life.
