ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW COMES TO KAMLOOPS
TRUSU ICE Club holds pitch competition Brianna Schellenberg STAFF WRITER Ω Last Friday, the TRUSU I.C.E Club held the It Starts With An Idea pitch competition. Seven entrepreneurs each had two minutes to present their ideas to a panel of judges, and the winner of the event would receive $2,500.
Pitches were scored on if they had a clear problem and solution, value proposition, a market, profitability, feasibility and overall presentation. Payal Khadaria kicked off the event with their idea of mobile salons, where businesses would bring personalized services to the customer. This would be convenient for stay-at-home parents, for a birthday
party or perhaps just a night in. “I want to target the student population in Kamloops with this idea. It’s untested, therefore we don’t have local competition,” Khadaria said.
