On Thursday, April 21st at 5:30 pm student entrepreneurs will take the stage to present their business plans before a panel of local leaders of industry and a public audience. The students are dressed as young professionals, and are ready to wow the crowd!
8 Tacoma Public School students in grades 6 through 12 representing 7 businesses and social movements from the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) at Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber will have five minutes to pitch their business plans to prominent local members of the business community, during the program’s annual YEA! Investor Panel Event (think Shark Tank meets The Apprentice meets American Idol!). Based on the appeal and merit of the students’ plans and presentations, representatives from companies like Columbia Bank, Bamford Foundation and Burkhart Dental will determine the amount of funds to allocate to each business or social movement.
The participating investors will also select the one business group that will advance to the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Saunders Scholars National College Scholarship competition, where they will compete for hundreds of thousands of dollars in college scholarships, a fast-track application pass to apply to be on ABC’s Shark Tank, and an all-expenses paid trip to attend America’s Small Business Summit in Washington, DC courtesy of the United States Chamber of Commerce.On Thursday, April 21st at 5:30 pm student entrepreneurs will take the stage to present their business plans before a panel of local leaders of industry and a public audience.
