Once again, seCTer is proud to support the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut by sponsoring prizes for the Chamber’s annual Entrepreneur Academy.
This eight-week program is designed to provide “aspiring and early-stage business owners with the practical tools and expert guidance needed to navigate the real-world challenges of launching and scaling a venture,” according to the Chamber.
Weekly sessions focus on a different aspect of business development and feature local experts in each area of focus. Finalists are selected for a live pitch competition judged by local business leaders, and the top three ventures will receive cash awards of $2,000 for first place, $1,500 for second, and $1,000 for third. Judging is based on the clarity of the business model, growth potential, and presentation.
The Academy started Sept. 9 and runs through Oct. 28.
