In addition, each year the winners of the state competition will each receive $10,000 in seed funding to build their business, $10,000 towards a 529 education funding plan and $5,000 toward a once-in-a-lifetime immersion trip, totaling over $100,000 in value.
Please join us for this event, to bring together students, parents, community leaders, corporate executives, state leaders, sponsors, and other partners across all industries that make up the innovation & entrepreneurial ecosystem around the state. We are inviting you to the evening networking cocktail hour and awards celebration, but welcome you to attend the pitches throughout the day.
