We’re still not over last month’s Pitch Competition.

Founders, innovators, dreamers, and builders from across Mississippi took the stage at Jackson State University’s College of Business to pitch their ideas, share their vision, and showcase what’s possible when entrepreneurship meets opportunity.

A huge thank you to the entrepreneurs who stepped up to pitch, along with the judges, mentors, partners, volunteers, and supporters who helped make the event possible.

We're proud to celebrate the participants in Bean Path's first Project Invent program, where students worked together to design and build an RFID card scanner to help streamline member attendance tracking.

Through hands-on problem-solving, teamwork, and technology, these youth gained real-world experience turning ideas into solutions. We're excited to see what they create next!
