Announcing the 2021 HSBPC Final Four & Special Recognition Award Winners

May 12, 2021

The Harriet Stephenson Business Plan Competition Semi-Finals was such a successful event! We had an incredible turnout, and were thrilled to see so many come and support the teams through these challenging times. Each and every one of them spent tremendous time and energy on their business plans, which made it very difficult to determine these awards.

Thank you to all of you who participated in the event. We truly could not make this experience extraordinary without you. Based on the scores of our Pitch Competition Judges and Trade Show, we are proud to announce our Final Four as well as the teams receiving Special Recognition Awards.

SAVE THE DATE for June 4 to see which team will take home the $10k Grand Prize!
