5th Annual Shark Tank Competition


The Epilepsy Therapy Project is soliciting entries for its upcoming Shark Tank Competition, to promote innovative ideas to help people with epilepsy and seizures.  The winner(s) will win as much as $200,000 and international recognition for their idea(s).

Examples of ideas to submit include:

·         new treatments for seizures,
·         devices that prevent personal injury,
·         drug or device that stops seizures once they’ve started,
·         any other innovative idea to help people with epilepsy.

All entrants need to submit a Letter of Intent outlining their proposals.  The deadline is November 13, 2015, 11:59 pm, Eastern Time.  Details on what is required in the Letter of Intent are on the Epilepsy Foundation website.

A panel of judges (Sharks) consisting of doctors and scientists, business people, people with epilepsy and advocates will evaluate the proposals.  At the 2016 Epilepsy Pipeline Conference on February 25-26, the conference attendees will conduct a final vote among the finalists’ proposals and the winner(s) will be announced.
