Calling all artists, inventors and fearless creators. The Fifth Annual Young Entrepreneur Tournament is now enrolling participants 18 and under.
The Young Entrepreneur Tournament is a four-consecutive-Saturday series that inspires and teaches participants to develop their ideas into functioning business plans. Each participant will pitch a business plan in a “Shark Tank”-styled format of community business owners and compete for $1,500 in prize money.
Participants will work with Charisse Bowen, a successful entrepreneur and former director of Colorado State University’s Institute for Entrepreneurship, to discover, compete and win. The tournament will meet from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, April 25 through May 16, at the Larimer County Workforce Center, 200 West Oak St. in Fort Collins. The final event will be held May 27 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Space is limited. No experience with entrepreneurship is necessary to participate. This hands-on workshop will teach you how to turn an idea into a business plan and will give you the support to help you get that business off the ground and running this summer. The deadline to apply is March 31.
