FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Honesdale, PA – April 29, 2026 — The 24th Annual tecBRIDGE Business Plan Competition once again highlighted the growing strength of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem, bringing together emerging companies, investors, mentors, universities, and regional business leaders. Among the non-collegiate finalists was Redemption Business Solutions (RBS), the Pennsylvania-based developer of Ownly — an AI-first Installment Commerce Framework platform.
Throughout the competition process, finalists participated in mentorship sessions, business planning refinement, live investor-style presentations, and networking opportunities with regional economic development leaders, advisors, and members of the broader business community.
“The tecBRIDGE Business Plan Competition represents much more than a pitch event. Don Webster and the tecBRIDGE organization have created a platform that genuinely strengthens entrepreneurs by encouraging disciplined execution, stronger commercialization strategy, and meaningful ecosystem relationships.”
Under Webster’s leadership, the program has continued evolving into a broader ecosystem-building initiative connecting entrepreneurs with investors, academic institutions, industry advisors, and regional growth opportunities — while strengthening Northeastern Pennsylvania’s visibility as a developing innovation corridor.
