The spirit of competition was in the air at the 2025 Rise & Thrive business speed pitch competition on Thursday evening at the Uintah Conference Center. The enthusiastic applicants had been narrowed to a Top 10 for Thursday’s competition and these finalists were able to pitch their big ideas to the judges. When the dust settled, the top three walked away with checks in hand totalling $23,000 dollars to launch their business propositions. The 3rd place winner and recipient of a $4,000 check was Amber Toler with Dyno Outfitters. The 2nd place winner and recipient of a $7,000 check was Dalton Reynolds with KD Sanitation. The grand prize winner and recipient of a $12,000 check was Seth Taylor with Whack-A-Sign. The People’s Choice award for the night went to Dyno Outfitters. Great job to all that competed and congratulations to the winners!
