With this in mind, eight small local businesses have been selected to act as potential suppliers to Target stores. These businesses will act as clients to the student teams who will work with the owner to create a pitch promoting the client as a supplier to Target. The student teams will present their pitch to a panel of judges. Each judges’ panel will be comprised of professionals from Target as well as other professionals from the Seattle business community and the small business owner. In the first round of the competition (9:00-11:30am), the student teams will compete against four other teams who have created a pitch for the same business owner. The top team from each bracket/client will compete in the final round (12:30-2:30pm). There will be a professional networking lunch from 11:30am-12:30pm.
