Young Entrepreneur Tournament for ages 11-18
It all starts with an idea.
The Young Entrepreneur Tournament offered by Larimer County Economic and Workforce Development helps youth discover what it takes to make their ideas a business reality in a series of fun, hands-on weekend sessions.
Work with veteran business leaders and build a business model you can put into action today. Pitch your idea to a panel of entrepreneurs and compete against your peers to win over $2,000 in prize money to help you start your new enterprise.
YET offers individuals 11-18 an incredible opportunity. No idea is too small, and no experience is necessary to begin this exciting journey.
All applicants for the fall 2024 tournament are encouraged to attend the pre-tournament orientation and ideation session from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. October 1, at 200 W. Oak St., Fort Collins. The orientation session is designed to help youth create and define their business ideas and get a jumpstart on their business plan. Pizza and refreshments will be served.
