VantageOne is once again proud to be a sponsor of the Community Futures, North Okanagan Enterprize Challenge.
This entrepreneurship competition is designed to give new and start-up businesses the chance to ‘pitch’ their business idea to a panel of judges just like North Okanagan’s very own Dragon’s Den or Shark Tank. As a participant, you’ll be assigned a mentor to help you prepare your presentation. You’ll compete
in the initial pitch, and you could be chosen as one of seven people to advance and deliver a final presentation!
You could be one of 3 winners sharing prizes worth over $35,000!
Last years 2nd place runner up, Juanita Miller, Juanita Miller Nutrition was mentored by our Commercial Services Account Manager, Amy Gillies!
