AUBURN — The LA Metro Chamber will host the Top Gun LA entrepreneur pitch-off at this month’s breakfast, Thursday, May 9, at the Hilton Garden Inn Auburn Riverwatch, 14 Great Falls Plaza.
Seven teams of entrepreneurs will present five-minute pitches on their business in front of a panel of judges comprised of local public and private sector leaders. Participants will engage in promoting their business in front of a relevant and appreciative audience.
Two winners will be selected from the Top Gun LA cohort to advance to the statewide Top Gun Showcase in Portland on May 23, where they will compete for two $25,000 grand prizes.
Top Gun LA is designed to accelerate entrepreneurial development through a combination of training, mentoring and community engagement. Offered at five different locations across the state including Lewiston Auburn, Top Gun identifies high potential entrepreneurs in Maine through a competitive application process. The selected entrepreneurs are then matched with experienced business mentors who help guide them as they continue to develop their innovative products, business models, and companies over 10 weekly sessions running from February through May each year.
The cost of the breakfast is $22 for members and $35 for non-members. To register, visit www.LAMetroChamber.com.
