LEWISTON A Lewiston staffing agency that would specialize in matching immigrants with open jobs and a Topsham entrepreneur whose website would introduce foodies to the local food and beverage scene wherever they travel in Maine are moving on to the Top Gun statewide finals.
They’ll face six other regional finalists all pitching-off on May 26 for the $25,000 grand prize from Maine Technology Institute.
“I would like to point out LA had the Top Gun winner for the state last year, so we’re pretty excited about the entrepreneurial supports and pathways in the region,” Shanna Cox, president of the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, said Thursday as the fifth annual Top Gun LA pitch-off got underway.
