The JEDCO Challenge, powered by Greater Lakeside Corporation, is a Jefferson Parish-based pitch competition for local entrepreneurs. Five startup companies with ties to Jefferson Parish will have just 7 minutes to do a live pitch in front of a panel of Jefferson Parish business leaders. The crowd will be able to vote for their favorite pitch. The winning company will receive $20,000 in direct capitol and additional in-kind services to help the company grow.
