During each event, 10 entrepreneurs will get the opportunity to showcase their business or startup to a group of investors and compete for a chance to receive startup capital that will help the business grow. The investments are being awarded in the form of low-interest loans, and in the amount(s) of $25,000 for the first prize, $15,000 for the second prize, and $10,000 for the third prize. There will also be a fourth prize of $5,000 given to the “audience’s choice.”
Each participant must identify as a brown or black entrepreneur and live in Central Indiana!
They will be given five minutes to pitch their business to a group of investors and a live audience.
In addition to receiving business startup capital, participants will be provided with other wrap-around services aimed at supporting the entrepreneur.
Audience members can join us either in person or via our virtual audience. Public tickets will be available on Eventbrite soon!
