Have a great business idea but don’t have the support to get it off the ground? Derby Diversity Week Is giving away
$50,000 to push your idea forward!
Submit your idea for Ideathon! All submissions based on innovative business concepts will be accepted, but we’re especially looking for ideas that incorporate a revolutionary take on technology. Finalists will be chosen, introduced at the 2022 Derby Diversity Week in Louisville, Ky., and will receive support, mentoring, and resources to put their idea in motion. Finalists will also have the opportunity to compete later in the year for the grand prize, including a host of benefits.
Submit your idea below – the more details the better. Maybe we will see you at the 2023 Derby Diversity Week Ideathon!
