On Tuesday, August 4th our CEO, Michelle and our Membership Engagement Coordinator, Stephanie were invited to attend the iDEA Lab Final Pitch Presentations hosted by the Delaware Small Business Development Center at Appoquinimink Community Library.

Over the past six weeks, these entrepreneurs have worked to refine their value propositions and build actionable go-to-market strategies, and it was inspiring to hear each founder confidently present their vision. The innovation, creativity, and determination on display are a testament to the strength of Delaware's entrepreneurial community.
