Turner College MBA student Heidi Walker was the big winner of Cougar Business Pitch 2023. The business that she pitched is called Mommy & Me Toys, Inc., which is a children's toy company that creates children's toys that spark faith and harness the power of play. One product line offered by the company, “My Pray and Play Pal,” is a doll that says one of four special prayers once its hand is pressed. With the win, Walker received a $3,000 grant to grow her business. Even though the win came with a monetary prize, Walker indicated to Turner Business that the chance to simply participate in the competition was invaluable. According to Walker, “I not only enjoyed participating in the Cougar Business Pitch Competition, I learned a lot of valuable information on how to raise capital for my business and how to start getting potential customers interested in my company's product.” Turner Business thanks Kirk Heriot, professor of management and holder of the Crowley Chair in Entrepreneurship, for another fine job administering the competition.
