CO.STARTERS Pitch Night 2024
From the start, theCO has been committed to helping entrepreneurs in West Tennessee, and CO.STARTERS is one of the programs we use to support them. It’s a nine-week program that equips aspiring entrepreneurs with the insights, relationships, and tools needed to turn their business ideas into action. The 2024 CO.STARTERS class is coming to a close, and that means one thing: Pitch Night!
You will have a chance to interact with them before they pitch. Between 6:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. there will be a come and go time where each business will be set up at a station. Enjoy some snacks and drinks while you go from station to station to get to know each of these businesses a bit more one-on-one. Then at 7:00 p.m. we'll start the pitch presentations. Each business will take the stage and pack everything they've been learning from the past 9 weeks into a quick but thorough presentation. Join us on Tuesday, April 16th at theCO to celebrate and encourage these businesses to thrive in and around West TN!
