The purpose of this contest is modeled after the television show Shark Tank, where entrepreneurs make a business presentation to a panel of selected investors, or “sharks.” The sharks decide whether to invest in the entrepreneurs’ company or not.
The Tennessee 4-H Entrepreneurs Are Us is designed to educate youth on the process of developing a business plan and encourage them to foster their entrepreneurial spirit and creativity for the betterment of Tennessee. The contest is a partnership between the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and Tennessee 4-H.
