Western Growers Hosting AgSharks Competition Next Month

The Western Growers Association’s Foundation will host a Shark Tank TV-like competition during the Association’s annual meeting next month.  The competition, sponsored by Seed 2 Growth Ventures, seeks to identify key innovations in the fresh produce industry.

Dubbed AgSharks, the event will offer participants the chance to win investments totaling up to $250,000 to support the development and growth of their businesses.  Selected entrepreneurs will pitch their ideas to a panel of experts who will decide on the spot whether and how much to invest. The entrepreneurs must then accept the offer, negotiate or decline.
