Youth Entrepreneurship Showcase + Pitch Competition

 URISE Ventures is thrilled to announce our Youth Pitch Competition @ 2nd Annual Youth Entrepreneurship Summit (YES!) is back and it is live!  

On June 18, we will shine a light on the talents of Greater Hartford's youth and young adults at our Youth Showcase + Pitch Competition. Think of it as Hartford's version of #SharkTank for aspiring young innovators, creators and entrepreneurs.  

Ten young entrepreneurs will pitch their ideas and innovations to a panel of judges. The top three presenters will be awarded minimum cash prizes between $500 and $1,000. All other participants selected to compete will receive $100 each.  

For more information on pitching your business idea or for youth vending opportunities, REGISTER on Eventbrite before June 1. You will be invited to attend info sessions on June 4 at 10 am or June 8 from 4-6 pm for more information. Individual coaching sessions are available by appointment.  

Thanks to our sponsors -- Hartford UNITY Grant, Launch Hartford, The Prosperity Foundation and the West Indian Foundation, the event is FREE to attend!  

This event is organized by URISE Ventures Inc., a non-profit youth development organization educating and empowering youth through business and entrepreneurship. For more information including sponsorships. please text 860-960-4940 or e-mail uriseventures@gmail.com.
