Canandaigua Chamber of Commerce

Do you have a big idea?  Have you always wanted to start your own business?  Do you have an invention or project that you want to take to the next level?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should apply for the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, or YEA!  YEA will be offered beginning in the fall 2012, and will take you through the process of brainstorming a business idea, writing a business plan, pitching your plan to investors (think Shark Tank meets American Idol meets the Apprentice), obtaining funding and launching a REAL business.  Start as a student, and finish as the CEO of your own company!

Grades 6-12 apply today!  Applications need to be submitted by October 4, 2012, and can be found on our homepage at www.canandaiguachamber.com.
