Launch Wake Tech Business Pitch Contest
After completing my Launch Raleigh Business Program in Fall 2021, I became eligible to participate in the 2022 Launch Raleigh Pitch Contest!
Open to over 800+ entrepreneurs, in January 2022 all Launch Wake Tech graduates were invited to submit a 5 minute “elevator pitch” for their business. From there the top 10 were chosen to conduct their pitch live in front of a a panel of judges and a large group of our family, friends, mentors, classmates, and members of the local media.
The live pitch contest took place at the Loading Dock, Raleigh on May 19, 2022.
With a tough competition of amazing entrepreneurs pitching their businesses, I was beyond excited to have placed second in the contest!
