Meet the Judges after 10 years of Walleye Tank
- Connect with Walleyes that have been with us since our first event in 2016 -
Walleye Tank features an expert panel of judges - each of whom are knowledgable and experienced in the fields of life science and business. Judges are assigned to different divisions based on their expertise to effectively score each pitch. Returning Walleyes are judges that have been asked to judge again.
