Two commercial entrepreneurship students from the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship Madysen Howard and Macy Maiocco, pitched Emmcee, an event planning application that connects Greek Life event planners with vendors, including venues and other essential services.
“The chance to pitch our business to sharks was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we were honored to be the business chosen by the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship,” Howard said. “We dedicated hours to preparing and perfecting our pitch with professors and other seasoned professionals.
Maiocco said that when the moment came, they were nervous, but that Corcoran and Herjavec put them at ease immediately.
