This Thursday, aspiring entrepreneurs will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges for the chance to win thousands in prize money.
But, unlike past years, theyâll be standing at a pitcherâs mound under the glare of stadium lights.
FoundersForge is partnering this week with the Johnson City Doughboys on Pitchers and Pitches, which will occur 6 p.m. Thursday at TVA Credit Union Ballpark. Gates will open at 5 p.m.
The event is a revamped version of the organizationâs prior startup competition, Pitches and Pints, and is the largest event of its kind in the region. The organization opted not to hold the competition in 2020 because of the pandemic.
