Jalila Gumbs placed second with Pretty In Paradise, Jaevharri Hodge placed third with Anguilla Resource Recovery Manufacturing Company, and Dyinze Tukura finished in fourth place with Tukura.
Each of the entrants is part of the Anguilla Youth Business Foundation’s entrepreneurial programme, where they have developed their ideas, strengthened business knowledge and gained important tools.
In a Facebook post, the chamber said Pitch Night Anguilla was designed to help the young entrepreneurs showcase their businesses and improve their confidence.
“It was about having the courage to stand before an audience, share an idea, tell your story and believe that your vision has a place in Anguilla’s future,” the post said.
The chamber congratulated all four participants following the event and encouraged them to continue developing their businesses.
“To every participant – keep building, keep learning, keep pitching and keep believing. This is only the beginning,” it said.
Pitch Night Anguilla forms part of the chamber’s efforts to support entrepreneurship, encourage innovation and strengthen the island’s business community.
