Shark Tank
ULI Houston’s NEXT Group presents the 3rd Annual Developer Shark Tank, an interactive event that aims to entertain while educating, advising, and empowering real estate developers.
Two local real estate entrepreneurs will step into the tank to pitch their deal project to a panel of “Sharks.” This year, the real estate Sharks will be representative of various backgrounds—finance, architecture, development and construction — to analyze projects using the same methodologies in a closed-door development pitch. Take a peek behind those doors as the Sharks use their years of experience to critique two pitches and give insight.
Benefits to Presenters:
- Constructive feedback from experienced and successful real estate leaders
- Exposure to potential capital investors and/or customers in the audience
Event Info:
Spring 2024
Location: TBD
