SQUARE1, where ideas start and grow, will honor several of our community’s leaders and entrepreneurs at its 3rd Annual Startup Scholars High School Pitch Competition Luncheon, co-hosted with Orchestrate Technologies.
Join us at St. Elizabeth Training & Education Center in Erlanger to witness the region’s top high school innovators pitch their ideas, Shark-Tank style. During this event SQUARE1 is excited to honor Garren Colvin, CEO of St. Elizabeth Healthcare; Darqueze Dennard, Cincinnati Bengals Cornerback; Dan Groneck of U.S. Bank; Barbara Smith, Founder and President of Journey Steel; Jackie Reau, Co-Founder and CEO of Game Day Communications; and Tony Shipley, Founder and Chair of Queen City Angels. Each honoree will receive a special award highlighting his or her impact on the community.
SQUARE1 celebrates these community leaders who have set a high example for the younger population and are encouraging high school students to follow in their footsteps by taking a more active role in this event.
Students are helping with the promotion and execution of the newly-branded event and have officially renamed it “Next.”
