Inspired by Shark Tank and Mendocino Start Up, the business competition attracted 36 businesses. Fifteen made it to the second phase, a one-day business plan training and mini-competition where judges made a very tough choice.

A special “Fan Favorite” prize will also be awarded and announced at the business competition. Anyone can participate in selecting their favorite business. To vote for one of the 6 finalists, go to https://www.facebook.com/1Team1DreamLakeCounty/.
