20Fathoms is pleased to announce that audience registration is open for the IndigiPitch Business Pitch Competition in Petoskey on Dec. 5, 2025. IndigiPitch is an energizing pitch competition that will showcase Michigan's vibrant Native American entrepreneurship and startup community. The event is open to the public and attendees can expect a show that is fun, inspiring, and welcoming for the entire community.

A pitch competition is an event where entrepreneurs compete before a panel of judges for funding and mentorship, as seen on the television show Shark Tank.

The four entrepreneurs presenting at IndigiPitch are: 
Deter  
Deter is a palm-sized micro-drone designed to interrupt threats before contact, providing real-time autonomous protection for the vulnerable. The Deter pitch will be presented by Fitz Doud. 

Little Agate 
Little Agate offers a simple, accessible approach to cloth diapering, pairing an education program with an offering of new and used cloth diapers to reduce waste. The Little Agate pitch will be presented by Leah Blanchard. 

Nokomis Everstory 
Nokomis Everstory bridges sacred storytelling tradition with modern technology to preserve voices in living form. The Nokomis Everstory pitch will be presented by Joshua Paul.
