MEET 2022 PITCH IT TEXARKANA WINNER JESSE DARBY-TILLIS II
What inspired you to compete in the Pitch It competition? North Texas Small Business Develpment Center (SBDC) suggested I should compete. They thought it would be beneficial to my business. What have you done related to your pitch since winning in 2022? I have talked to several banks and investors. I’ve also started two e-sports scholarships through Texas A&M University-Texarkana and hosted a few video game tournaments to promote my idea. I have also spoken to many schools about their e-sports programs. What does the future look like for you?
2024 looks like I will have the video game lounge with several video game tournaments and several schools competing in the Texarkana area.
