Three Brooklyn small businesses took top honors at the inaugural Ignite Brooklyn Made Pitch Competition on April 15 at BRIC Arts Media, where finalists competed live for a share of $50,000 in additional funding.
The Shark Tank-style event marked the culmination of a monthslong process that drew more than 200 applicants. Ten finalists advanced to the final round, pitching their businesses on stage to a panel of judges and a live audience, outlining growth strategies and making the case for new investment.
