Seventh Annual Entrepreneurship Pitch Night

Seven finalists will be selected from the pool of online applications to pitch their business ideas to a panel of expert judges in front of an audience. Participants will need to apply online at hudsonlibrary.org for one of the 10-minute time slots available for this “shark tank” style program. 

A $5,000 cash prize will be awarded to the first place winner, and two runner up will each receive a $2,500 cash prize. 

The 2019 Pitch Night judges are:
Katy Fuerst, Director of Programming & Community Engagement at HFLA of Northeast Ohio
Jim Griggy, Business Advisor for the Small Business Development Center at the Summit Medina Business Alliance.
Rick Schultz, Author, Inventor, Lecturer, Retired Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Surgical Instruments Corporation

This event is one of many planned for the City of Hudson’s celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), returning for the sixth consecutive year, November 17-23. “Pitch Night” and GEW 2019 are generously supported by the Burton D. Morgan Foundation. More information can be found at hudsonlibrary.org
