Southwest Virginia natives are invited to submit their business ideas for a chance to receive financial and technical assistance.
The Pitch Southern West Virginia Business Idea Competition is for startups or new businesses that have been in business for no more than three years. Students at WVU Tech are also eligible to come up with ideas.
It is an initiative of a newly announced partnership between WVU Tech, the West Virginia Hive and the WVU Tech Launch Lab.
“We have a lot of demand for new products,” says Diana Woods, director of the lab. “And we need to be creative and make changes to existing ideas as they evolve over time and things change to make them a little bit better.”
West Virginia Hive customers are also eligible. New businesses in 12 counties — Raleigh, Fayette, Nicholas, Summers, Braxton, Webster, Pocahontas, Greenbrier, Monroe, Mercer, Wyoming and McDowell — may also submit proposals.
Applications are due Monday, August 15 at midnight. Top winners will be invited to attend a live competition on September 13, 2022 from 6-8 pm at the WVU Tech campus in Beckley.
The winner will receive $2,000.
