About Castle Placement and the CPGO Competition

Benjamin Talks was excited to work with Castle Placement to discover young entrepreneurs with big, bright business ideas. Castle Placement is a premier private capital investment bank with over 600,000 accredited investors and 64,500 institutional investors.

The CPGO competition has traditionally been held with college students from top universities like Dartmouth, Columbia, University of Michigan, and NYU, but this time the team of judges was excited to give a younger generation of entrepreneurs a chance to pitch their business ideas.

Read on to hear about the four impressive elementary entrepreneurs who wowed the judges with their budding business acumen.
