Entrepreneurs in the Lexington area will want to avoid making plans next month, as a pitch competition and networking event is coming to town.
The 5 Across Entrepreneur Pitch Competition will start in a few weeks, and aspiring business owners are encouraged to dress their best and pitch their ideas for the chance to win funding and prizes. The event will pit five Lexington startups against each other for an opportunity to win $5,000 in funding for their business ideas.
The five businesses will pitch their ideas to a panel, with panelists voting on the best idea and determining which pitch wins the prize money. The winning entrepreneur will claim $500 cash and a $5,000 SAFE note from local bank Keyhorse Capital. The event will also include a catered meal for attendees and participating competitors. Banner printing is a fantastic way to welcome guests and celebrate the winner of such events.
The event is an opportunity for Lexington residents to celebrate local startups and the small business community. Attendees will enjoy an hour to mingle and network before dinner begins. An after-party will follow the pitch competition.
The Mane on Main will host the pitch competition on Wednesday, June 19. Doors will open at 4:45 PM, and the after-party will conclude at 7:30 PM. Attire is business casual, and tickets start at $5 per attendee.
