The Enterprize Challenge Live Finale Event Presented by Community Futures North Okanagan!
About
Over the past three months, our Enterprize Challengers have engaged in a ‘business boot camp’ through a series of workshops and one-to-one mentoring to support them in a Dragon’s Den-style competition. The judges selected the seven finalists following their initial 15-minute pitch at the beginning of April. On May 9, the finalists will present their 5-minute pitch to a live audience in hopes of taking home start-up capital, plus thousands of dollars in prize packages from our sponsors.
Check out the prize packages here at enterprizechallenge.ca
Support the 2024 Challengers, and join us in celebrating these exciting new businesses.
What To Expect
Doors open at 5 pm for a tradeshow showcasing this year's participants and our sponsors. Network, interact, and show our participants a warm North Okanagan welcome before the show starts!
Pitches start at 6 pm and the winners will be announced before the show ends at 9 pm.
First, Second, and Third place winners, as well as the People's Choice, will be awarded at the event.
This is the night to celebrate small business in the North Okanagan! Join us for an event celebrating innovation and entrepreneurship in the North Okanagan! We can’t wait to see you there.
