The Riverhead Chamber of Commerce and Riverhead High School are teaming up to produce “Chamber Tank,” a variation on the popular TV show “Shark Tank.”
Students can pitch business proposals to business owners in the chamber, some of whom are Riverhead High School alumni.
The students have a chance to win cash prizes of $500 and possibly more, according to Bob Kern, the president of the Riverhead Chamber who will also serve as a coach.
The competition is virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s like ‘Shark Tank’ for students,” Mr. Kern said. “Entrepreneurs make presentations to successful people to try and get them to invest.”
