Now in its fourth year, Small Towns, Big Ideas celebrates rural entrepreneurs through a one-of-a-kind pitch event. This year, in partnership with the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship at Dartmouth, top tech startups from CORI’s Rural Innovation Network will compete in person for a cash prize.

Small Towns, Big Ideas showcases innovative, investor-ready scalable tech startups from communities in CORI’s Rural Innovation Network. Each startup selected to participate will be pre-seed or seed-stage. They will deliver their pitch in front of a panel of investors who will judge the presentations based on their product, business model, traction, and narrative. The startup that ranks the highest among the panel of investors will be named the winner and receive a $10,000 reward.
