A new group of Wisconsin entrepreneurs took to the ‘Project Pitch It’ stage this week to win their share of cash prizes and mentorship opportunities.
Taking homes this week’s Peg Ann & David Gruber Project Pitch It Award, worth $10,000, were entrepreneurs Arek Schmocker and Amadeus Benitez. Their startup is Germantown-based Chocolate Rescue for Dogs.
Chocolate Rescue for Dogs has created a dog treat that can encapsulate the toxins found in chocolate if a dog were to accidentally eat some. The startup was the winner of last year’s Bright New Idea Award at the Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest.
