GlenX Business Incubator Offers $10,000 Prize in Pitch Competition

GlenX Space

 

Local entrepreneurs have the opportunity to win $10,000 towards their start-up business idea by participating in the GlenX Business Incubator pitch competition. KDNK’s Raleigh Burleigh spoke with Small Business Development Center consultant Jonathan Stokely to learn more. Registration for the Glen X Business Incubator pitch competition ends on Wednesday, March 7th, followed by the first education session at 7pm at the Third Street Center in Carbondale.

Raleigh Burleigh was raised in the historic floodplanes of Satank. The Carbondale Rotary Club sponsored him as a youth ambassador to Chile the year before his graduation from Roaring Fork High School. He studied International Affairs and Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder then applied those studies traveling throughout South America the following year. Returning to Carbondale thereafter, Raleigh acquired an internship with KDNK News which led to the opportunity to serve as News Director from 2017 to 2019. After another trip to South America in early 2019, Raleigh Burleigh drew deeper into the confluence as Program Director at KDNK. Raleigh now serves on KDNK's board of directors and as editor of Carbondale's weekly newspaper, The Sopris Sun.
