Startup Pitch Night

402 North Main Avenue,Sioux Falls SD 57104

27 October, 2022

Description

You’ll get to hear some of our recent CO.STARTERS graduates present their business idea in a pitch competition with real cash on the line. This time, we’re doing something a bit different. Through our SBA Community Navigator grant, we have expanded the number of CO.STARTERS cohorts occurring throughout our city and state. Graduates representing each of our Spoke partner organizations (Dakota Resources, EmBe, LSS and Thunder Valley) will be participating in the competition. The best part? You’re a judge. Collectively, the members of our audience will serve as the fourth in a panel of live judges at the event—so make sure to come and cast your vote! Tickets to Startup Pitch Night cost $15 for non-members and $5 for founding Startup Sioux Falls members. The night will include a signature CO.STARTERS “happy half hour” with some complimentary appetizers and a full cash bar. Next on the agenda for the night is the celebration of CO.STARTERS graduates from all of the recent cohorts, so come ready to mingle with other members of the Sioux Falls startup community, and congratulate our graduates on a job well done. Pitchers will be announced by October 6, 2022. The winner of the competition will take home $1,000 for their venture.
