The Snellville business community recently provided a financial leg up to five young entrepreneurs as part of the city’s annual “Shark Tank” competition.

Five students — four from Brookwood High School and one from Grayson High School — received a total of $2,000 after working on their business projects for the entire school year and pitching them to a committee of business leaders in a competition much like ABC-TV’s popular “Shark Tank” show.
