Initiatives to foster entrepreneurship
As the oldest pre-business organization at the Claremont Colleges, Pomona Ventures' involvement has evolved over time. Take a look at both our past and present initiatives.
Present
PV's annual keystone event spotlights student founders' innovative ideas. Inspired by Shark Tank, Sage Tank features startup pitches from alumni and students to a panel of experienced judges and a live audience. Winners receive funding to invest in their company. All competitors get publicity, networking opportunities, and a jumpstart from our accelerator program.
This year's event will be held at Pomona College in April 27, 2024.
