Following much deliberation, the finalists for Hen Hatch 2022, the University of Delaware’s much-anticipated premier startup competition, have been selected. The submissions this year have been from a wide range of industries, colleges, and interests, truly showing that the spirit of entrepreneurship can be found anywhere. This year’s teams made it hard on our semifinal judges, but we have managed to narrow it down to a few particularly promising and innovative startups we are proud to showcase in the final round.
The following three teams from each of the Pre- and Post-Revenue tracks will compete in the final round of the 2022 Hen Hatch competition, set to take place at The Tower Audion at STAR Campus from 5 to 9 p.m. on Dec. 1, 2022. Horn invites all to attend the upcoming culmination of the final round of the 2022 Hen Hatch competition! Registration is now open.This final round will feature a $50,000 prize pool and in-kind gifts which range from support for conferences and competitions to special mentorship and services. Horn Entrepreneurship will also continue to support all teams in their startup growth.
The evening will also include the 2022 University of Delaware Innovation Showcase, an exhibition of innovation projects and startup businesses(including our Hen Hatch Semifinalists) during which attendees will have the opportunity to network and learn from the many experienced market experts, entrepreneurs, investors, and others in attendance. Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments, including beer and wine to those who are 21+, will be provided.
