Young Entrepreneurs at Oswego

OSWEGO, NY – Last Friday was the final day of the event by Enactus at Oswego called Launch It. It’s an entrepreneur event where students take their idea for a product they can sell and pitch it to other people who work or run their own business.Students give those judges the rundown of what the product is, along with the finances, profits and marketing strategies that would give their idea as much success as possible.
This event included not only prize money to the winner to invest in their product, but it also featured an opening concert by Feyde, a R&B artist.
Over a dozen students gave insightful ideas that may very well have tons of potential. The enthusiasm from the students was fantastic as the team at Enactus stated, was the most successful year they’ve had so far.

This show is being put up by none other than Oswego’s very own Theater DuJour! Finding out about how the company was started speaking with Tammy Wilkinson, founder of this company says “we were bringing shows to the Oswego Players, my role there was also producer, but we were having a little bit of a challenge getting butts in the seats and so we had the idea to bring them out into the community”. And good thing she did because they’ve been on a roll ever since, constantly in the media surrounding central New York.
