Students from CI, five high schools and four middle schools throughout Ventura County will pitch their startup business ideas Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in San Miguel Hall on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard in Ventura.

​

In the tradition of CNBC’s “Shark Tank,” about 40 student teams will demonstrate prototypes, give oral and PowerPoint presentations and pitch their ideas for a startup venture to a panel of investors, businesspeople and economic development professionals.

​

At stake will be a pot of $7,500 in seed money for their new business, and access to Aspire3, a Camarillo business that cultivates student entrepreneurs into community businesspeople.
