Hamilton pitch competition returns for up-and-coming entrepreneurs

Hamilton pitch competition, Lions Lair is back, and organizers are looking for up-and-coming entrepreneurs to pitch their business to a panel of Hamilton’s top business experts and investors.

Now in its 12th year, applications for Lions Lair opened on Apr. 5 and will close on May 8 at 11:59 p.m.

The finalists will compete for prizes by engaging in a series of training sessions throughout the summer. They will be tested on their growth and financial and legal readiness strategies.

Organized by Hamilton’s Innovation Factory, Lions Lair will take place in a bracket-style tournament called “Lions Lair Pitch Madness” on Sept. 22. The finalists will deliver their pitch and field questions from the “Investor Lions,” who will determine the winners from each match-up to advance to the next round.
