Congratulations to the Motley brothers of ARMA and the four other companies that pitched at last night's Youngstown Business Incubator annual Shark Tank event, attended by an impressive 800 people! We're thrilled to be coaching ARMA, who has been receiving recognition and investment across Ohio. A special shoutout to last night's winner, Little Tusk, for their beautiful financial education tool designed for elementary school kids. It was also wonderful to connect with friends and colleagues, including the Entrepreneurs in Residence at YBI, staff and Board members at YBI, pitch judges, our friends at BlueTreeVC and other local businesses. Excited to see how we can continue to support and grow the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region. Special thank you to Chandler Fiffick and YBI EVOLVE for the opportunity to contribute.
