Savannah State University Hosts Competition for Student Entrepreneurs
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on April 04, 2022 Savannah State University’s College of Business Administration (COBA) is hosting the Tiger’s Den Business Pitch Competition, an event to allow student entrepreneurs with developing business enterprises or business concepts the chance to win $1,500 in seed money to scale their ideas. The competition will be held on Monday, April 4 at 5 p.m. in the Torian Auditorium located in the Howard Jordan COBA building, 3219 College St. The event is open to the public and there is no cost to attend. Sponsors for the inaugural Tiger’s Den Business Pitch include: Savannah Economic Development Authority, SCORE and the Distinct Tax Consulting Group. For months prior to the competition, students worked with professionals from SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, to help them gain valuable skills in planning, launching and operating their own businesses. Competition participants were required to attend developmental workshops with SCORE mentors and submit a written business plan to qualify. Judges include business professionals from the Fred and Mattie Jackson Foundation, SCORE, Savannah Sauce Company, Distinct Tax Consulting Group and Distinct Financial Services. SSU’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) programming fosters growth of entrepreneurial innovation through field-based experiential learning. The CIE exists to assist and support minority business development and offer opportunities to increase business creation for African Americans and underrepresented entrepreneurs and innovators.
