Join us in encouraging the growth and innovation of emerging businesses within the Thompson Country Region! We are thrilled to host The BIG Pitch, a dynamic event designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in our community.This competition offers early-stage entrepreneurs a rare and exciting opportunity to present their concepts to a diverse panel of local business professionals. Participants will receive invaluable feedback, gain significant exposure, and vie for the grand prize of $5,000, sponsored by Venture Kamloops and Community Futures Thompson Country, a financial boost that could propel their business to the next level, and People’s Choice earning beneficial mentorship hours from established business, Angie Olson Business Coach & Consultant.
Our competition follows the Dragon’s Den style. Participants will engage in the initial closed-door pitch, having the unique opportunity to showcase their concepts to a panel of seasoned experts. The finalists chosen from the first round will then move forward to the live pitch in front of an audience, where the judges pick a final winner, and the audience will vote for People’s Choice. Simultaneously, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., a business support services tradeshow will be held in the adjacent room where mature business owners and entrepreneurs can receive various information from mixed entrepreneurial support organizations!
