Three local businesses will share nearly $50,000 in prize money at Hamilton’s 11th annual Lions Lair competition.
Fifteen teams of entrepreneurs will pitch their ideas to contest judges in a bracket-style, single-elimination tournament.
The contest, presented by Innovation Factory in collaboration with the City of Hamilton’s Economic Development Office, will be virtual for a second year, due to the pandemic.
Finalists will duel from noon to 2 p.m., Sept. 23, in a “pitch madness” competition for a first-place prize of $30,000 and a second-place prize of $15,000. The team voted “people’s choice” will take home $2,500.
