MINTO – The Town of Minto and LaunchIt Business Exploration Centre have announced the return of the PitchIt! Minto Business Plan Competition.
Now in its 11th year, the competition started in 2012 to grow small businesses in Minto and increase awareness of the resources available.
“The Town of Minto in partnership with LaunchIt and our generous sponsors are proud to once again offer a great opportunity for anyone looking to open, purchase or relocate a business within the Town of Minto,” town officials state in an April 21 press release.
Once again there are prizes for the winner and all finalists, and a pool of prizes that can be customized based on the needs of the businesses, the release notes.
“Thanks to the support of our generous community sponsors we are pleased to offer over $18,000 in cash and prizes,” officials state.
“It’s been a challenging few years for our businesses and we are excited to once again offer PitchIt. Excitement is in the air and people have been calling for months wondering when it will be released,” said Minto economic and community development director Belinda Wick-Graham.
The winner of the 2022 edition of the competition was TNT Fishing Lures, owned and operated by Tia Biro and Ty Henry.
