On Monday, November 2, 2015 the Stony Brook Innovation Lab held the first ever Wolfie Tank. A spin off from the popular show Shark Tank, Wolfie Tank gave seven Stony Brook community members the opportunity to pitch their idea.product to a panel of expert judges.  The goal of the event was to promote an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit on the Stony Brook campus. With collaboration from our partners in College of Business, Division of Information Technology, IREP, VP for Economic Development, Long Island LaunchPad and ListNet, Wolfie Tank was able to provide current and future entrepreneurs with real life pitch experience to help with the next stages of development for  their idea/product.

The judges (shown above, excluding David Ecker) gave feedback to each presenter and spoke with them one on one during the networking section of Wolfie Tank.

The room was packed with over 140 people in attendance. Students, faculty, and outside companies were all in attendance.

Intellectual Product Solutions even created a video on Wolfie Tank 2015, showcasing some of the presenters and judge Derek Peterson.
