It's sink or swim for our young entrepreneurs at the LLCEO Local Pitch Competition! Students delivered their personal business pitches to a panel of three judges and were scored according to the following: significance of the problem, adequacy of their solution, uniqueness of the solution, call to action, presentation, and performance in the Q&A session.

Congratulations to Alex Steffens, owner of Iron Shield Pool & Hot-Tub Solutions as the winner of our local pitch competition! Part of his prize is first pick of locations at our upcoming CEO Trade Show on April 24th (stay tuned for details!)

Students will participate in the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship National Pitch competition this week via video submissions for a chance to win cash prizes. Very exciting!

A BIG thank you to our judges! We appreciate your support of the CEO program!
