Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!)
Investor Panel Presentations
|
|
Last Thursday, March 22 student entrepreneurs from various Staten Island high schools took the stage at Staten Island Technical High School Auditorium. Each student/ business owner had five minutes to pitch their business plans to prominent local members of the business community, during the program’s annual YEA! Investor Panel event (think Shark Tank meets The Apprentice meets American Idol). Based on the appeal and merit of the students’ plans and presentations, the panel of local business leaders determined the amount of funds (up to $4,000) to allocate to each business and who would move on to the semi finals.

The Tricky Truth of Inheritance in the 21st Century
Inheritances are a complicated thing. Not only are there often strings attached in the eyes of the government, unexpected taxes, and complicated bequeathments, but there are also potential conflicts within families. And not to mention the fact that the potential windfall was the result of a relative's death. Inheritances are very complicated.
