YBI EVOLVE

Congratulations to our portfolio company, Little Tusk and its founders Lauran Woolley and Jordan Woolley, who walked away with a clean sweep and $50,000 at the fifth annual Youngstown Business Incubator Shark Tank competition. This amazing even was held on October 24th in Boardman, Ohio and continues to celebrate local investment and entrepreneurship here in Youngstown!

We swam with the sharks and came up with a new slogan. “If it’s not Boak, we’ll break it!” 🦈🔨 . Youngstown Business Incubator Shark Tank was a smash hit! We brought the Rage Room but literal records were broke and we enjoyed every second of it. Jumping into the deep end of a room filed with over 700 business owners is no easy feat and we are so happy for our new found friends in Little Tusk bringing it all home! . This was such a big win for our company and we can’t wait for you all to see what’s next. 💥🔨 Until then we can’t wait to see you at your Company Picnics, Team Building, Family Events and more.
