About this Event
This year's Region 5 pitch competition will be hosted by Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana, and located at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum! During the event, ten northeast Indiana high school teams who have been carefully selected out of hundreds of competitors will share their innovative pitches and business ideas.
We will be joined by government officials, business leaders, local innovators, educators, and family as the students pitch their businesses and compete to be one of the top ten teams in the state. The top team will move onto the state finals and will be invited to travel to DC in June, receive thousands of dollars in scholarship, enter an exclusive alumni program, and the first place team in Indiana will receive $25,000 in funding.
Register today to support and experience these amazing young people and future entrepreneurs! More event details can be found at: startedupfoundation.org/region-5
