ONLINE: Teen Pitch & Launch Event

media release: Weeks of training, research and preparation from Wisconsin teen entrepreneurs culminates in CEOs of Tomorrow’s extraordinary virtual start-up pitch event on April 17 called “7th Teen Pitch & Launch Event”.

Twelve teen innovators participating in the These Teens Mean Busine$$ Incubator learn social entrepreneurship skills and create real business ideas with a social mission in mind.

“New to entrepreneurship, our teens learn the process of building a business and then pitch, launch and test their own venture with real customers,” says Roxie Hentz, CEO and founder.

The public event is a real-life opportunity for the teens to not only pitch their ideas and get real-time feedback, but also persuade those attending to purchase their products. The business ideas are inspired by social issues that have personally impacted the student, a close family member or friend or their community.

At the event, the teen entrepreneurs involved will virtually pitch and launch start-ups that include business products like customized meal kits, homemade lip gloss and body lotion, calligraphy writing sets, budgeting and financial tool kits, and much more! Every product sold raises money and awareness about social and environmental issues of importance to them. All items purchased at the event will include free shipping thanks to event sponsor American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact.

CEOs of Tomorrow is pleased to partner with the popular restaurants, La Taguara and Paco’s Tacos, to offer our optional Pitch & Launch Meal Packages for guests to enjoy during our virtual event. Meals can be pre-ordered and picked it up on April 17th before streaming the event. Proceeds from each meal sold will support CEOs of Tomorrow youth entrepreneurship programming and these local restaurants.

The free virtual event is Saturday, April 17 at noon. Registration is required.
