Congratulations to the winners of our 8th Annual Downtown Bristol Entrepreneur Grant Competition!!
Last night our three incredible judges (huge thanks to Bethany Wilson, Te-Kai Shu, and Kelly Grosfield for joining us!) definitely had their work cut out for them. They narrowed down seventeen amazing pitches from this hardworking group to just nine winners of a collective $50,000:
✨ @theatre.bristol - $10,000
✨ @platterandpour - $10,000
✨ @familytraditionsupply - $10,000
✨ @shop.bohocollective - $5,000
✨ @bistroon6th - $4,000
✨ @finaflorals - $3,500
✨ @audioasisbristol - $3,500
✨ Bao Bones, Chef T(@union41bristol) - $2,500
✨ @winslowsavagemillinery - $1,500
We are beyond proud of not only our nine winners, but our entire cohort of participants! Each year we are blown away by how these current and prospective business owners come together to support one another throughout their seven weeks together. They all work so hard, expand their knowledge and their networks, and truly become their own close-knit community of entrepreneurs. We look forward to seeing them continue to foster these great relationships in Downtown Bristol!
