Red Rock Start Up, final stage is today at 5:30 pm at the Gathering Grounds at 2125 Highway five in Bussey. Marion County Development Commission Executive Director Carla Eyesink spoke with KNIA/KRLS News about the event.

“This is a business pitch event for either start-up companies or new companies that are less than three years old. We have six finalists that will compete in a” Shark Tank” type environment with judges. We invite everyone to come out, if you’re interested in entrepreneurship it is a great way to connect to resources. If you are a business and just want to connect with other businesses it’s a good opportunity.”

Red Rock Start Up is sponsored by the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, PACE Alliance, DMACC Business Resources, and Marion County Development.
