2022 MCPS Business Pitch Challenge

On Thursday, March 24th, Brad Sherman was asked to judge the MCPS Business Pitch Challenge, which is an annual local challenge inspired by the show “Shark Tank”. Students from seven high schools participated in this year’s event, including Blake, Churchill, Gaithersburg, Northwest, Kennedy, Northwood, and Paint Branch. Students pitched their business ideas for a solution to an existing problem, improvement of an existing product, or they created a need for a product/service to a panel of local entrepreneur judges.

As an entrepreneur and small business owner, Brad Sherman was thrilled to support such a wonderful event for a second year in a row, promoting leadership, financial literacy, and creativity. With the lack of financial literacy around the world, this event was a great opportunity for students to start thinking financially and as an entrepreneur from a young age.

Congratulations to the first place winner this year from Blake High School and to all the teams who participated in this year’s event and presented their well-thought ideas.

It was a great opportunity to support small businesses and entrepreneurs, as well as giving back to the community.  If you have any questions about the event, email ASKMCPS@mcpsmd.org or let us know at info@shermanwealth.com and we are happy to connect you with the right contacts.  Additionally, if you are a small business owner and are seeking consulting assistance, email us and we are happy to help.
