High school entrepreneurs dove into the shark tank during the Marketplace on March 9th to pitch their projects to the Student Council-selected sharks. Each contestant brought their creative ideas to life had five minutes to present them to the “sharks,” all ASFM alumni that could potentially mentor them throughout the startup process.  

The students had 3-5 minutes to pitch their products. Once done, the entrepreneurs received constructive criticism to improve their merchandise. The event was planned and organized by the student council, who pre-selected the five students from a pool of eleven candidates. The completion of the Shark Tank marks the fulfillment of all of Neon’sproposals and an event they hope will become a tradition for future planillas.
