Here's more from DRA:
Entrepreneurs in the Delta region are encouraged to apply for the Delta Entrepreneurship Network fellowship.
Applicants will compete in a series of pitch competitions in the region, known as The Delta Challenge. Up to sixteen startup company representatives will be identified to represent the eight-state region and will receive a fellowship to participate in a special segment of New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW) on March 25-27.
While at NOEW, fellows will have access to programmatic seminars, workshops, and mentorship from panelists and industry experts as well as the opportunity to showcase their company to a panel of investors. New Orleans Entrepreneur Week 2014 saw 5,209 participants and $240,644 in startup capital allocated across 38 startup ventures.
By participating in the Entrepreneurship Network, fellows will have access to industry experts, gain technical knowledge, expand their entrepreneurial network, and enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the DRA region.
