The Queens Economic Development Corporation on Thursday announced the 12 finalists in the 15th annual Queens StartUP! Business Competition, a four-month challenge-and-instruction course offered via a partnership with Resorts World Casino New York City with support from the Srivastava Technology Fund.
After attending at least four workshops on such topics as pricing, branding, marketing, and budgeting, StartUP! contestants submitted anonymous business plans to a panel of judges consisting of local entrepreneurship and commerce experts. The panel then selected three finalists in four categories from a pool of almost 50 solo entrepreneurs and teams in the early stages of operation.
