How does it work?

We want the community’s help to select the People’s Choice Finalist in Chattanooga, Cleveland and Northwest Georgia. All fans, family and community members can show their support by casting a vote for their favorite TVFCU Idea Leap Grant Semifinalist in each region!

For the first time ever, TVFCU is hosting multiple Idea Leap Grant Pitch Competitions. This initiative is aimed at supporting the small business ecosystem within TVFCU’s 17-county service area. Entrepreneurs will pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges and compete for grants totaling $75,000 in Chattanooga, and $50,000 each in the Cleveland and Northwest Georgia areas. 

The semifinalist with the most votes in each region will be named the “People’s Choice Finalists” and will compete in their regional pitch competition during the second week in May.

Click the links above to vote for one business in each region. The finalists with the most votes in each region by 5 p.m. ET on Friday, March 31st, will be named a People’s Choice Finalist.
