ADA, OKLAHOMA- The Ada Jobs Foundation
(AJF) is proud to announce the top six entrants for The Big Pitch Ada
competition taking place virtually on November 12.
The Big Pitch Ada is an entrepreneurial pitch competition
focused on creating an opportunity for people to pitch a new business
idea, service, or product line. Those who pitch will have an opportunity
to be awarded money and expert feedback based on the quality of their
presentation and overall business concept. This is the third year that
the competition has been offered, and the format will allow for
companies to pitch in two categories: a category for concept-stage ideas
for a potential business, and a category for early stage businesses or
product lines.
The finalists for the Big Pitch Ada were selected by the Ada
Jobs Foundation from a pool of applicants from across the state of
Oklahoma. The following entrants representing different products and
business ideas were selected for the opportunity to pitch their idea and
connect with investors:
Idea-stage Category

* Fredeshia Neely, WeCare&Co. * Naresh Juneja, Breathify USA Revenue-generating Category
* Cody Tucker, Convey640 * Jamie David, Hidden Stars of Theatre * Lynsey Bonner, Expiration Ninja These finalists will present to a
live audience and panel of judges consisting of industry experts. They
will have five minutes to make their pitch and this pitch will be
followed by a question period from the judges. Winners will be
announced at the event and will receive a cash prize to help develop
their concept or business. The cash awards are made possible by local
and regional sponsors, and they include LegalShield, REI Oklahoma, First
United Bank of Ada, Pontotoc Technology Center, and Citizens Bank of
Ada. Prizes presented during the event include:
"Through this event we are encouraging entrepreneurship and early-stage businesses that are helping to grow our regional entrepreneurship ecosystem,"
shared Srijita Ghosh, AJF Entrepreneurship Specialist. "We hope that by
the event being hosted virtually, an even larger audience is able to
join us, to support those pitching their business, and to talk about
growing entrepreneurship and innovation in Oklahoma." Register to attend at http://bit.ly/bigpitchada20rsvp. For more information contact the Ada Jobs Foundation at 580.235.0070 or info@growada.com
