St. Francis College proudly hosted its 2nd Annual College-Wide Entrepreneurial Pitch Contest April 12, 2018, bringing together 9 student-entrepreneurs to compete for $3,500 in prizes.
Each entrepreneur made it through several rounds of competition to reach the final where they had five minutes to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges in hopes of winning seed money to bring their business plan to life.
The event, sponsored by Investors Bank, included plans for an iPhone connected razor, a fashion reseller, graveside maintenance, and more.
First place and $1,500 went to Joshua Dezil '21 (Management) for his company Jdbundles which sells hair extensions.
Second place and $1,000 was awarded to Samantha Scarlett '18 (Management) for her company Luxury Snob, a high-end fashion reseller.
Third place and $750 went to Miranda Stark '20 (Sociology) for her company Eternal Care Grave Maintenance.
