LAS VEGAS, June 7, 2017 – A local start-up business that has its roots in CSN’s business incubator program is a finalist in the 2017 Southern Nevada Business Plan Competition.
Revive Brand, which makes and sells backpacks, hats and other “streetwear,” is one of five finalists in the competition, which is jointly run by the UNLV Center for Entrepreneurship and the Las Vegas Business Press.
“This team deserves all the success it has seen so far,” said CSN Business Professor Kevin Raiford, who helped mentor the business. “It’s been an incredible journey for them, going from an idea to a prize-winning reality.”
Several years ago, Raiford started the business incubator program at the college to help students start their own businesses. So far, Revive Brand is one of 41 local start-up businesses that the program has helped students develop, with support from the CSN Foundation.
The winner will be announced at an awards gala at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Foundations Building on UNLV’s campus. The prize package this year stands at almost $50,000.
