Your Business Idea Could Be Worth $10,000!

CARLISLE, PA - Ben Franklin Technology Partners/CNP and the Capital Region Economic Development Corporation (CREDC), the economic development arm of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber, are inviting entrepreneurs to "take a seat" in the Ben Franklin TechCelerator located in Carlisle, PA.

 The TechCelerator is a designated, shared workspace located in the HRC-CREDC Business Incubator.  Entrepreneurs who are chosen to participate in the program will receive $1,000 in a seed account to get them started on fully developing their business plan. Those who successfully complete the program can compete for $10,000 to jump start their business and will have the opportunity to pitch their idea to a panel of investors.

Pam Martin, the Executive Director of the Ben Franklin TechCelerator Program commented, "So far, we've had more than a dozen inquiries, and we've just started the interview process.  With just six seats available, those who are interested should apply as soon as possible in order to be considered."
