During National Black Business Month and RIBBA’s Small Business Week, we will be hosting a Young Adult Business Pitch Competition. This is an opportunity for young entrepreneurs to develop and pitch an idea for the chance to win up to $5,000! The Competition is for young adults who live in Rhode Island and are aged 18-30.
Winners can win a variety of prizes, ranging from $1,000 – $5,000 grants in addition to other business growth and counseling services from RIBBA. All entrepreneurs invited to the final competition will take part in an information session on Thursday, August 1, 2024, on preparing and presenting a business pitch to ensure each competitor has the skills and information to be as successful as possible.
