THE PITCH - DETAILS
Small Business Entrepreneurs who are within their first three years of business can apply to pitch their business to a panel of judges. The judges will narrow down the candidates and then ask them to pitch their business to the public.
The public will ultimately be the judges of who will win the grand prize package of 1-year free rent at a location within Fremont (up to $10,000), and additional services, with a total package of over $17,000!
Don’t worry, you will have the help of the Small Business Development Center to help you along your journey in preparing for The Pitch! It is highly encouraged for all interested to attend the informational meeting on January 5th to get all the details.
