Meet the 2026 HYPE Contestants
HYPE is proud to announce the contestant finalists; come support them on November 18th at the Solarium by Watermark. In August, the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber announced the return of HYPE – Highlighting Young Professional Excellence – for its third year. The Shark Tank-style pitch competition gives early-stage business owners across Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren Counties a platform to showcase their businesses, connect with the community, and compete for funding and in-kind resources.
