10 Business Ideas Pitched For $25K Century Business Challenge

April 2, 2015

Ten applicants will battle it out with business plans in the $25,000 Century Business Challenge.

The 10 proposed businesses range from light manufacturing, technology, healthcare services, transportation, education, childcare and apparel.  Participants will now begin attending workshops hosted by the Small Business Development Center and developing their plans leading up to a final submission on June 5th and a pitch to the judges panel on June 25th.

Prizes for the winner of the Century Business Challenge include space at the Century Business Center at a lease rate of $1 per year, with the possibility of an extension of that rate for two more years based on the company’s performance. They will also receive $25,000 in operating funds from the Studer Institute.  And the Century Town Council has recently approved offering the same $1 per year lease rate at the Century Business Center for the second place finisher.

The Century Business Challenge is part of an economic development partnership of the Haas Center, the Town of Century and the Studer Institute.

    Glad to hear there was a proposal for light manufacturing. I would buy all my bulbs from them if I knew they were built locally.
