Sponsors, faculty and Alumni will have an opportunity to network and support the 6 winning founders of DEI3.

New this year is an evening where the founders will pitch in the shark tank, followed by a networking reception in a tradeshow environment. Participants will get to know the companies, make connections, and establish relationships where appropriate. 

With over 200 applications, the companies are being supported by UMSL with a best-in-class program including paid student interns, guest speakers, lead mentors and learning modules.
