YEA! Investor Panel 2019

Description

The Young Entrepreneurs Academy, hosted by the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce is a 25-week program that turns middle and high school students into CEO's of their very own company or organization.

Students have been working since early November on developing their business idea, writing business plans and learning the ins/outs of operating a successful company.  They are now ready to present their Pitch to a panel of 'investors' to see if they can obtain funding to launch their business in the final phase of the program.

The Investor Panel is open to the general public, business professionals, friends, family and interested students.  Come cheer the students on, learn about their business ideas and show support for their hard work.
