A new series of business launch opportunities is ready to launch in Sheboygan. “Pitches & Pizza” is a project of the Sheboygan County Innovation Council and the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation. The inaugural event is scheduled for Thursday, May 21st from 5:30 – 8 PM in the loft at 3 Sheeps Brewing Company.
The idea is to lower the barriers to entrepreneurship by inviting aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives and business owners to share their ideas in a fun, supportive environment. Attendees can enjoy free pizza while hearing a series of fast-paced, one-minute pitches focused on people’s business ideas. Attendees will also play a role by voting to help select the top three People’s Choice winners.
The Chair of the Sheboygan County Innovation Council, Justin Vanneiuwenhoven, said that participants don’t need a business plan or a polished presentation in order to take part; just an idea and the willingness to share it.
Participants will compete for a total of $2,000 in cash prizes, including the People’s Choice Awards that give $500 to the 1st place winner, $300 to the 2nd place and $200 to the 3rd place. Additional awards of up to $1,000 will also be presented by the Sheboygan County Innovation Council.
The event is free to attend and participate, and that includes pizza while supplies last. Registration is required and can be done through this link.
