Virtual Big Gig Entrepreneur Pitch-Off (Finale)

The Virtual Big Gig Finale is April 13th, and it's the culmination of our 2020/2021 Big Gig Season! Three of the entrepreneurs received a spot by winning a regular season Big Gig Pitch-Off, and the 4th entrepreneur gained entry by being voted the favorite "wild card" over our social media account! These four entrepreneurs, Josh Kim of The Cubby, Stephanie Noyes of 360 Sleeves, Cherie Scott of Mumbai to Maine, and Hannah Marr of Clique in Style, now get to pitch their innovative, early-stage businesses or business ideas to our panel of judges and the virtual audience. Our ZOOM audience and judges will then get to cast votes for their favorite entrepreneur to determine which one will walk away with $5000! AND while the judges are deliberating a "Big Rig" guest speaker will talk about their entrepreneurial journey and how they got to where they are today. Hope to "see" you there supporting Maine's entrepreneurial community!
