HarborOne announces Small Business Pitch Contest
By Canton CitizenHarborOne Bank recently announced the kick-off of its eighth annual Small Business Pitch Contest to support the development of small businesses in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Registration and entries are open through August 31 to compete for a top prize of $10,000 from HarborOne to help a local small business accelerate their growth. In addition to providing a business overview, financials, and other information such as customer demographics and projected job creation, entrants must answer the following questions:
* How would you use $10,000 to grow your business?
* What types of challenges have you faced and how did you overcome them?
* What piece of advice would you give to an entrepreneur looking to start their own business?
“HarborOne’s annual Small Business Pitch Contest is a terrific platform to provide visibility and financial support to dynamic, growing small businesses; it has also become a regional celebration of entrepreneurship,” said Joseph Casey, president and CEO of HarborOne Bank. “The energy, drive and creativity these businesses bring to their pitches is truly impressive.”
Recent winners of the pitch contest include Mike and Matt Alksninis, owners of Alskinny Brothers Health Foods in Quincy (2022); Azure Cygler, owner of Rhody Wild Sea Gardens in Narragansett, RI (2021); and Mary and Nada Lattouf, owners of Lulu Green Café Bakery Juice Bar of South Boston (2020).
A panel of business experts will screen the initial entries and choose up to eight applicants to pitch their ideas. Applicants will be notified no later than September 12. Presentations are limited to five minutes and finalists will also take part in a Q&A with the judging panel. The committee will announce the winner at HarborOne’s Mansfield Banking Center on September 28.
