Do you have a “moonshot” idea or an existing business you’d like to expand? Even just a product or business idea you’ve scribbled down on a napkin?
If you answered YES, please join us for the Graham/Greenlee County AZ Pioneer Pitch competition for entrepreneurs (aka, a showcase like you see on ABC’s Shark Tank)! Participation in this event is FREE!
- You’ll be competing to win cash prizes, scholarships, and more!
- In addition, you’ll get feedback from top industry experts and exposure for your business or product.
- You’ll meet other risk-taking entrepreneurs in your area.
1st place prize:
$1500
6 months free business internet service through Valley Telecom
3-Day QuickBooks Online course through EAC SBDC
2nd place prize:
$1000
3rd place prize:
$500
To apply, candidates must submit an online application at: https://www.azpioneerpitch.org/graham_greenlee.html. Applicants will need to explain their start-up idea, what they feel their unique selling proposition is, and why their product is better than what is already on the market.
Registered Graham/Greenlee Pioneer Pitch participants attend FREE workshops for assistance in preparing and perfecting their 5-minute pitch presentation that will be delivered at the Moonshot Pioneer Pitch on June 23rd.
Workshops will be held on June 14 and June 21 at 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. on EAC Campus in the Academic Programs Building, Room #111. Participants may come to one or both workshops. The more prepared you are, the better your chances!
