Budge Named Finalist in Spark! Tank 2025

Support Us at the Spark! Tank Pitch Competition

Hagerstown Community College’s Incubator + Labs is hosting the Spark! Tank Pitch Competition which is an annual event celebrating local entrepreneurship, innovation, and community-driven business ideas. This year’s competition will feature startups and small businesses from across the region presenting their products and services for a chance to win cash prizes and the title of Audience Choice Award winner.

Among the finalists is Budge, a new mobile app developed by the team at iWAT. Budge’s entry was chosen by the judges to advance to the final round, where it will be presented live alongside other innovative local businesses. We’re proud to see Budge representing our region’s innovative spirit and can’t wait to see it presented live at the event!
