Time is running out to apply for the 2026 edition of The Drive, Howard County’s annual business pitch competition that awards $10,000 in seed funding to a local startup or small business ready to grow.
This year’s program features a streamlined six-month timeline designed to better fit the schedules of busy entrepreneurs while still providing the coaching, feedback and pitch development that make the program valuable.
Entrepreneurs who participated in Level Up are especially encouraged to apply and continue building on the progress they’ve already made.
Applications close March 31, and the competition will culminate with a live pitch event on Oct. 15. Apply now and learn more at greaterkokomo.com/thedrive.
