About the Chaffe Entrepreneur Challenge

The Chaffe Entrepreneur Challenge is a business competition.  The Idea Village nominates five entrepreneurs from its 2017 Strategic Consulting Portfolio who exhibit great ideas and potential for growth. Each local nominee is selected based on the venture’s need for legal advice and mentoring. Additionally, engagement level, presentation to committee members, and stage of business development are factors taken into consideration.

“What grabbed our attention about Realized Designs Projects was its commitment to better our community, combined with its creativity and innovation in their products and services. We felt we could provide the necessary legal counsel to Realized Designs Projects to take their ideas to next level,”   said E. Howell Crosby, Chaffe McCall Managing Partner.
