This party is (for) pitching!

Put your ideas to the test and meet other entrepreneurial small business owners from across Northeast Ohio while competing for prizes at Four-Minute Limit: JumpStart’s Pitch Party.

Selected participants will be given a Four-Minute Limit to persuade the judges that they most deserve the top prize of $2,500 with each of the remaining contestants walking away with $500.
