Calling all Ridgefield Entrepreneurs for "Tiger-Shark Tank"
Ridgefield-based Entrepreneurs and Business Owners can pitch their business idea to a panel of notable international corporate leaders, well-known national entrepreneurs, private equity investors, and Ridgefield ECDC members on Wednesday, October 26 at 7:00pm at the Ridgefield Library.
The panel will vote on the best ideas, and award Ridgefield Chamber gift cards to the top ideas.
Please email pitches to ecdc.sean@gmail.com by Monday, October 24. (If you cannot attend on October 26, it may be possible to arrange a Zoom "pitch".)
The Ridgefield ECDC encourages anyone who lives in Ridgefield, or who has a business in the Town, to present at the event, such as a Home-based business, Main Street business (retail, restaurant, or other), Manufacturing, Service, Technology, or any business! Pitches can be for a new idea of the expansion of an existing business. High School and College students are welcome.
Entrepreneurs who pitch will receive feedback from real private investors; this is a great opportunity to practice your pitch!
Winners will receive Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce gift cards. The winning entrepreneur will receive $1,000 in gift cards, Runner-up will receive $500, and Third and Fourth place will receive $250 each.
The Ridgefield ECDC (Economic and Community Development Commission) seeks to help promote a vibrant entrepreneurial community.
Please email ECDC member Sean Dowd with any questions or to arrange a pitch at ecdc.sean@gmail.com
