Okay, we came in second. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t win anything (besides, it sounds so much better to say “we won!”).
Venture Works, a resource center for entrepreneurs out of Huntington University, announced the inaugural Huntington County Business Plan Competition in February earlier this year. See the official press release here.
Long story short: Indie entered. I sat through all of the workshops offered, spent weeks working on a business plan, received tons of great feedback from our advisors and our team, and submitted the plan. After a couple stages of elimination, Indie ended up alongside 4 other finalists in the last stage, which included a 30 minute presentation.
And it seems they liked it.
Aspiring Indie took home $3,500 in competition awards (woo!) to put toward our business initiatives. And it has been a huge help. A big thanks to all the judges and organizers who believed in us!
