Chilliwack Startup Challenge narrows to seven finalists ahead of Live Pitch Event

CHILLIWACK – A competition that empowers local aspiring entrepreneurs is now down to just seven finalists set to pitch business ideas to a panel of judges.

Community Futures South Fraser says 15 participants had come on board initially for its Start-Up Challenge.

That number has now shrunk in half and what remains will face local judges at a Live Pitch Event for a grand prize package, including $5000 to use for their business.

“The Startup Challenge has been an incredible journey for these entrepreneurs,” said Nicole Read, General Manager of Community Futures South Fraser.
