Butler County Emerging Entrepreneurs Shark Tank Competition
The Butler County Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the launch of the Butler County Emerging Entrepreneurs Shark Tank Competition, presented by Green Cabbage and 1Team Media.
Having debuted on April 28th, this spectacular event was the highlight of April!
Spearheaded by the Butler County Chamber’s Entrepreneurial Infrastructure and Ecosystem Development Committee and operating under the Butler County Chamber umbrella to elevate business development countywide. The event represents a key pillar of the committee’s work since its formation in January 2024 and builds upon the Butler County Chamber’s Bloom Butler County one-stop business support system launched in August 2025.
To bring this vision to life, the committee has been collaborating closely with the Youngstown Business Incubator (YBI), which recently completed its 6th annual pitch competition. The partnership, established in early 2025, has included multiple site visits to Youngstown and a comprehensive blueprint provided by YBI to help Butler County successfully launch its own world-class event.
In addition to YBI, this initiative has been made possible through significant collaboration with Slippery Rock University, Butler County Community College, SCORE Pittsburgh, South College Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh SBDC, and the dedicated business owners and professionals serving on the committee.
