The fourth group of ten founders introduced their business initiatives to business and civic leaders, and investors at the Bond Event Center in Tulsa, following 12 weeks with the accelerator program.
The founders’ businesses range from eco-friendly beauty items to hiring employees in the cannabis industry.
