Won in One

Entrepreneurs and innovators are invited to compete for cash and prizes that will be awarded to the best new ideas for starting or growing business ventures in north Louisiana. Like Shark Tank, the presenters pitch their idea to a panel of business experts who select the most appealing opportunity. The audience also gets to vote for their favorite. 'Won in One' competitors have one minute to share their idea in a way that is exciting, informative, and financially appealing. Scores are tallied and prizes are announced at the event. A workshop to help prepare will be held on November 6 at 6:00 PM. In addition to prizes, competitors gain feedback for their venture, identity potential collaborators, attract prospective investors, meet other trendsetters, and connect to resources supporting business development and growth. The 'Won in One' competition will be held at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, November 11, in University Hall on the Louisiana Tech campus in Ruston, LA. For more information, email tbdc@latech.edu or call 318 257-3537. Registration for a limited number of competitor spaces opens at noon on October 28.
