Join us for a day of experiencing the next wave of new business owners coming to our communities presented to you by the YOBIZMO Learn and Earn Program!
The Entrepreneurial Pitch Competition is a live event where fellows will present their business ideas to a panel of judges. We invite you to come be the audience for these new business owners and learn more! This event is FREE to attend.
The Learn and Earn Fellowship hosted by YOBIZMO ends its year with the pitch competition to elevate the fellows and their potential. The Learn and Earn Program by YOBIZMO is a 12 week program, where each participant works on developing and improving their business. Some are new to entrepreneurship, while others are already growing their ventures. This event gives them the opportunity to share what they’ve built, explain the mission behind their business, and discuss their next steps for growth.
We have a total of 10 entrepreneurs participating in this year’s competition. These selected individuals have gone through the program in one of the two cohorts of this year, and have been chosen for this final pitch competition.
We’re committed to helping local entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses and contribute to the economic growth of our community.
