Lion Cage

Lion Cage is part of the Great Valley LaunchBox.

Great Valley LaunchBox website

The Great Valley LaunchBox's annual Lion Cage event presents an opportunity for early-stage entrepreneurs to pitch products and compete for invaluable prizes.

After being selected through an online application, participants will have seven minutes to share their creation or service with a panel of judges, including industry experts and faculty. Judges have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback. The top three finalists will receive awards.

In its inaugural year, Lion Cage saw pitches from 10 participants, ranging from Penn State students to alumni to community members. The day-long event included two guest speakers from experiences on entrepreneurs.
