Trump administration small business competition

Overview

The Trump administration, through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), has announced a business competition as part of its ‘Freedom 250’ initiative to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. The event, referred to as both the ‘Million Dollar Pitch Competition’ and the ‘Patriot Pitch Competition,’ is scheduled for September 18 in Washington, D.C.

Rapper Nicki Minaj has been named as a celebrity judge alongside Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia and private equity manager Grant Cardone. Actor Dean Cain is set to host the televised finale. Five finalist companies—Compotech Inc., Winton Machine, Plas-Tech Tooling, Red River, and VetPowered LLC—will compete for a $1 million prize pool, with the top prize valued at $400,000. The SBA noted that the competition funds are provided by Clover Network rather than taxpayer money.
