It’s on! Startup founders are invited to register for startup pitch competitions in regions across Mississippi as part of the CoBuilders initiative. Right now competitions are open for registration in Oxford/Lafayette County, Clarksdale, Starkville, Jackson, Hattiesburg and on the Gulf Coast.
Winners from regional competitions will join the CoBuilders Accelerator to receive funding and support to help you develop your startup idea.
What is CoBuilders?
Mississippi’s first statewide accelerator has seven regional partners hosting seven statewide pitch events. Three startups from each regional event will then enter the 21-startup statewide cohort and receive a minimum $7,500 grant and other prizes. Deadlines to register for a regional pitch competition are approaching so the time to apply is now!
Go to www.cobuilders.ms/apply/ to submit your application.
