A Northern B.C. competition is looking for entrepreneurs to submit ideas they would like to see funded in their region.
ThriveNorth Business Challenge offers young people aged 18-39 in Northern B.C. the chance at one of three $10,000 grants to fund original business ideas.
Of the three categories listed, there are two “Best New Business” categories: one for 18-to-28-year-olds and one for 29-to-39-year-olds. There is also a category for “Best Growth Opportunity” open to all ages in the competition and an additional “People’s Choice” award worth $5,000
Last year’s winner of that $5,000 award was Axel Whalen of Tiny Life Supply, a Smithers-based company that helps provide people with the materials required for building tiny homes
