Weekly Wrap-Up 9/16/21

Meet Our Finalists

This year, 14 hopeful JIT participants submitted business ideas for our fourth annual JIT Shark Tank competition. Six semifinalists were chosen to work with coaches, all professionals from around San Diego, to develop their ideas into actionable business plans. Those six business plans were reviewed blindly by our JIT Shark Tank Review Committee, which selected a top three. Meet our finalists below, who will be presenting their business pitches live at this Saturday’s Pathways to Financial Power Conference for a chance at the grand prize of a $3,000 investment in their idea! We’ll share our winner in next week’s Wrap-Up!
