TRUCKEE, Calif. – Sierra Business Council and the Truckee Chamber of Commerce announced a FuturePreneurs Pitch Week, a week of workshops culminating in a showcase for Tahoe/Truckee teen entrepreneurs presenting to the community their innovative business ideas.
On December 6 at 5 p.m. in Truckee Town Council Chambers, teen Futurepreneurs will present their pitch deck for the chance to win prizes and receive feedback from an expert panel of judges, as well as the audience of community members.
Teen Pitch Week, a series of workshops delivered by Sierra Business Council built upon a successful program with Tahoe Silicon Mountain, is designed for participants to hone their skills, learn about successful pitch techniques, and craft a winning pitch. Taught by SBC and other seasoned mentors in collaboration with Truckee Chamber of Commerce, the futurepreneurs will hone their presentation skills and information into a five-minute presentation, referred to as a pitch, identifying their value proposition and their organization’s capital needs. The Showcase will feature the finalists from Teen Pitch Week.
Teenagers at any school in Truckee and North Lake Tahoe are all welcome to apply. An existing business is not necessary, teens will work on business ideas together on the first night of the week. The series, held at SBC’s office in Truckee, will begin December 2nd and continue all week from 5-7 p.m.
This program is built upon the many years of success of Tahoe Silicon Mountain and SBC’s Tahoe Pitch Camp & Showcase. SBC welcomes any volunteers of Tahoe Silicon Mountain to get involved with Futurepreneurs as mentors!
