What a journey the StartUp Showdown has been! I went from being unsure if I even wanted to open a business to creating the concept for Namaste Studio and competing in a statewide competition with a solid pitch deck and business plan against 16 other great competitors ✨
We all worked SO hard during this process and I want to give all Glory to God. Without God I absolutely wouldn’t have even entered this competition and win or lose, I have gained so much from the experience. 🤍
There is ONE last section though, an online voting one! Once they release our pitch day videos on their YouTube channel I will be sure to let you allllll know so you can go vote! The videos with the highest like counts will get extra points added to their final score. 😉
