Meda's Million Dollar Challenge 2018

Enter for your chance to receive financing to accelerate your business.

Meda and the City of Saint Paul are hosting an exciting business-plan competition modeled on the television show “Shark Tank.” Up to 20 ethnic minority-owned businesses will be invited to make their best case in five minutes or less to a panel of judges regarding why their businesses are poised for growth.

Up to 10 finalists will move on to the next round – an “accelerator” offering investor and industry feedback, mentorship, exposure and professional connections. These finalists will return to Saint Paul in January for the final event, which will award up to one million dollars in financing. Financing will be in the form of a convertible note.

Please complete the application below by 5 p.m. CT on Monday, November 12. If you have any questions, you may contact Andy O’Leary at aoleary@meda.net.
