Empowering Small Business Owners: The Clover x Shark Tank Summit
Mark Cuban and Clover have teamed up to launch the highly-anticipated Clover x Shark Tank Summit, scheduled for September 28-30, 2025, in Las Vegas. This three-day conference aims to equip small business owners with the tools and resources they need to thrive in an increasingly challenging economic landscape.
Why This Summit Matters
The summit is designed against the backdrop of staggering statistics: approximately half of all small businesses in the U.S. fail within their first five years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The expert panel, featuring Cuban and other successful entrepreneurs, will address the critical areas that lead to business failure, including operation management, cash flow, and marketing strategies.
Shannon Watkins, CMO at Fiserv, remarked, "This small business summit is designed to help them with all the major categories that drive small businesses to failure and help turn their stories around." With tools ranging from business planning to resilience strategies, attendees will leave equipped for success.
More Than Just Talks: Real Support for Entrepreneurs
The event is not just about lectures; entrepreneurs will have the unique opportunity to pitch their ideas to the Sharks themselves, gaining invaluable feedback from seasoned investors who understand the nuances of business development. Participants can also network with industry leaders and fellow entrepreneurs, nurturing collaborations that can drive future growth.
The Access Pass Grant Program
To ensure wider participation, the summit introduces the Access Pass grant program, aimed at supporting entrepreneurs who may not have the financial means to attend. This initiative underscores the commitment to inclusivity and fostering a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Real Stories Behind the Hype
Tabitha Brown—actress, entrepreneur, and Chief Empowerment Officer at Clover—shared her thoughts on the impact of entrepreneurship on communities. "When we empower small businesses, we uplift communities and have the power to change the world," she said, emphasizing the summit's goal to spotlight the challenges small business owners face.
As the registration opens today on Clover’s website, small business owners are encouraged to apply and take part in this transformative event. With expert insights, networking opportunities, and essential resources, the Clover x Shark Tank Summit aims to be a catalyst for change in the small business arena.
