Michigan Women’s Foundation to Host Entrepreneur Competition

1468

The Michigan Women’s Foundation is accepting applications for its Entrepreneur You Business Plan and Pitch Competition, a contest open to Michigan-based businesses that are at least 51 percent woman-owned or woman-led.

Those interested in applying can select from participating in the Southeast Michigan competition (Oct. 9), or the Grand Rapids competition (Oct. 16), and must submit a two-page concept paper to be reviewed by a panel of business professionals and entrepreneurs. 

Out of those who apply, 20 finalists will be selected and matched with coaches who will help them with their business plan and pitch. Teams will then participate in Dolphin Tank, similar to the television show Shark Tank, to practice their pitches before the final competition. 

Applications are $10 to submit, and will be accepted until July 13.
