Think you're up for the challenge? Now's the time to put your best foot forward and see if you have what it takes to bring home a game-changing prize package for your business. 

Startup St. Bernard seeks out dedicated, enthusiastic entrepreneurs who want to grow their business to the next level. Entrepreneurs are invited to apply for the opportunity to pitch their business to a panel of judges.

Three finalists will be selected to "pitch" their business to a panel of judges at Nunez Community College. 2024's prize package was $100,870, with $59,500 in cash and $41,370 in-kind. All three finalists will receive a cash prize of at least $5,000. In the past, in-kind donations have included services ranging from legal and accounting to marketing and public relations.
