Description
The Giant Vision startup competition began in 2005, providing an opportunity for South Dakota citizens to vie for prize money, interact with individuals who assist startups and those who invest in early-stage companies. All of which is intended to help our citizens with launching a business, creating jobs and increasing the GDP of the state. The student competition was added in 2007.
