Countless ideas go unnoticed every year. Think of all the new strategic initiatives and challenges that businesses are facing today. With challenges come opportunities and your task is to present a business idea that will succeed in the future. Sometimes brilliant ideas go unnoticed, but today many firms and organizations are desperately seeking innovative ideas.
So, how does this work? Think “Shark Tank” … but instead of just not getting the judges to invest in your idea, at the minimum you and all of your teammates earn a minimum of $50. It is easy and unlike shark-tank you will not be asked questions about your product. Your only requirement is to submit a 5 minute presentation pitch to provide the judges why your business will be successful.
Mrs. Stieg from Oakdale High does a great job in this 10 minute video explaining how to be successful in Start-up Frederick , the choices you have this year, and an example of last years winning team.
