The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

When Jennifer Sheets first presented her idea for a web-based writing tutorial at 1 Million Cups back in December, her elevator pitch – by her own acknowledgment – needed a little fine tuning.

Mission accomplished.

Sheets nailed her StorySquares pitch on Friday night at the 28th annual John Raffatto Business Startup Challenge https://www.business.umt.edu/competitions/startup/default.php at the University of Montana, securing the $15,000 first-place prize, as well as the People’s Choice award and its $3,500 purse.
